Knowing how to control a vocabulary is important, but what if you don’t 
have a vocabulary? This workshop provides participants with a simple 
algorithm for inventing all those words you forgot to invent last time, 
along with several practical examples. Whether you’re an indexer looking 
to lengthen your index, or a website owner looking to get more Google 
hits, you’ll appreciate a fast, fresh look at words, words, and more 
unencumbered words.

Faculty: Seth Maislin is a leader in the indexing industry. He is 
past-president of the American Society for Indexing; managing partner of

through Middlesex Community College and has spoken at numerous 
conferences and companies. A long-time freelance indexer and mentor, you
