Indexer Locator

—

When I wrote my first index in 2005, for a financial accounting textbook from Queen’s University Press, it was love at first index. I undertook professional training immediately, and indexing became my portal into the worlds of both librarianship and freelance editing.

Twenty years later, I’ve returned to indexing full time. I index trade books, scholarly publications, and textbooks in a wide variety of subject areas, from the humanities and social sciences to biomedical sciences. I’ve undertaken specialized training in medical indexing and medical terminology.

I also have a personal interest in fiber arts and DIY, biography and memoir, horticulture, psychology, history, linguistics, disability studies, Indigenous studies, and French-language materials.

The indexes I write can be submitted to the publisher in whatever format you need, separate or embedded. I’m skilled at creating embedded indexes in formats including but not limited to Word, InDesign, XML, and ePub.

I’m a member of the Indexing Society of Canada / Société canadienne d’ indexation (ISC/CSI) and the American Society for Indexing (ASI), and I’m a dedicated volunteer for the ASI-PNW chapter.

I look forward to hearing from you! If I’m not available to work on your project, I will help you find an indexer who is.
