Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are five ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


Looking for someone who can create an index for one of my books

I am presently putting together a new print edition of my most recent book, Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space.

Unlike the ebook edition, I want the print edition to have an index, as is expected for all legitimate histories.

I have however been unable to find one. If you are a reader of mine who happens to do this work as a freelancer, or if you happen to know someone who does, please comment here and I will get in touch with you.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    You might try this link. https://www.asindexing.org/find-an-indexer/ I’ve never used it, so I can’t speak to what results you might expect, but it seems to be a good starting point.

    I am a professionally trained indexer with experience indexing historical works, though so far mostly ancient and early modern history. I saw your need for an indexer over at Ace of Spades, where I’ve been commenting for years as Dr. Weevil. I’ll e-mail you with ‘Dr. Weevil’ in the subject line, and give you my real name so you can check my credentials. (I keep my political and professional lives strictly separate on-line, so I won’t mention it here. Don’t e-mail my Dr. Weevil account below: since I gave up blogging I rarely remember to check it.) I can certainly handle the job, if I can fit it into my schedule, which I very probably can.
    More soon by personal e-mail.

    I would love to be an indexer. I have experience in writing and fact checking.

    Where can I send my resume?
