I am an experienced full-time indexer since 2020, providing custom back-of-book and embedded indexing services to authors, editors and publishers. I produce clear and informative indexes that express the style, concepts and topics laid out by my clients.
My areas of subject expertise cover Astronomy, Computer Sciences, Digital Video Production, History, Military History, Oenology, Social Sciences, Political Science and Public Policy, and Law. I create quality indexes for popular books, trade books, manuals, textbooks and scholarly works – on time and on budget.
