Manuscript Preparation

Q.How does one go about preparing an index? Any web page I can go to?

A.I typed “preparing an index Chicago” into Google and found many sites that offer guidelines. Here are a couple:

http://www.psupress.org/author/indexing_guidelines.pdf (Penn State University Press, “For Authors: Index Preparation”)

http://unp.unl.edu/press/prepindex.jsp (University of Nebraska Press, “Publishing with the Press: Preparing Your Index”)

And of course CMOS chapter 18 tells you all you need to know and more.
