The Maine Indexers' Group was established in 1993 to support and promote north-country indexers and their work in related fields. It is the group's mission to provide an active network of professionals who share their expertise for the education and benefit of all of our members, and to serve as a valued resource for the publishing industry.
As our name suggests, we began as an association of Maine people who write indexes. But many of our members have
other publishing skills as well. We have printed this brochure as a guide for publishers and authors searching for the right
freelancer for the job at hand, whether it be indexing, editing, proofreading, research, or other tasks in the information
sciences. Our members are competent, experienced, and smart. Your project deserves no less.

Owners of Maine.
A fresh look by a new pair of eyes can catch errors which previous readers have missed through repetition. MIG's
experienced freelancers can be trusted to spot and report potentially embarrassing mistakes which have escaped the notice
of author and editor alike.
We don't believe in sending anyone away empty-handed. Whether inquiring by phone, in the post, or on e-mail, you'll be
directed to skilled professionals ready and able to meet your needs.
