American Society for Indexing
Heartland Chapter
The Heartland Chapter of the American Society for Indexing (ASI),
founded in 1992, was officially recognized in 1994 and serves ASI
members mainly from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Our members
include both beginners and experienced indexers, as well as
indexers in a wide range of specialty areas, such as technical
documents, scholarly works, textbooks, web sites, and legal and medical
materials.
We hold two annual meetings featuring speakers and workshops of interest to indexers. Topics have addressed the craft of indexing, starting and operating an indexing business, marketing, and relations with publishers and editors. Peer review sessions--where we critique one another's indexes--sharpen our skill and efficiency.
Our electronic newsletter is published twice yearly and we host an email list for announcements. Membership is not required for subscription to the email list--anyone may join and receive our announcements. The newsletter normally is sent to members but is available on this website to anyone.
If you need an indexer or would like to become an indexer, our officers and members will be eager to help you get what you need.

Featuring Carol Roberts
"Marketing: Building a New Business and Enhancing an Existing One"
In the fall of 2007, Carol Roberts hired a business coach and has since expanded her business, trained a team of indexers, and learned new approaches to marketing. The results have been phenomenal, and she is eager to share with us everything she knows about target markets, print ads, trade shows, tracking results, costs of marketing, networking, and—believe it or not—cold calling!
Carol Roberts has been indexing for over 14 years and has more than 600 books under her belt. She has been helping her fellow indexers with their marketing for many years. You may have heard of her workshop "Marketing for the Shy" (among others), which she's given both at ASI conferences and to ASI chapters. She is also a past secretary and board member of ASI.
