Traditionally, indexers have worked for publishers of books or periodicals. Publishers of encyclopedias, legal books, medical journals and newspapers usually employ a staff of indexers. They are full-time employees, or they earn a living by freelance indexing. Freelance indexers are self-employed workers who sell their indexing services. Publishers hire freelance indexers to work on specific books or projects.
