Indexer Locator

I craft thoughtful, high-quality, user-friendly indexes for scholarly work across the social sciences and humanities. I combine my decades in academia with my indexing experience to craft highly usable indexes.

I create standard back-of-book indexes as well as Cambridge University Press embedded indexes and OUP paragraph ID-based indexes

I index scholarly books in gender studies, anthropology and foodways; archaeology; political science; international relations; African, Latin American, and US history; ancient near eastern history, religion, and archeology; communication and media studies; library and information sciences; American studies, Black history, ethnic studies, education, and comparative religion. I specialize in interdisciplinary works–particularly the intersections of these subjects.

I am also an experienced cookbook indexer, and particularly enjoy working with vegan/vegetarian/WFPB cookbooks and international cookbooks.

When not indexing, I teach the Library Juice Academy Book Indexing course, I adjunct at my local university, and I provide developmental editing, copyediting, and coaching services for scholarly authors in the areas listed above.
