Overview
I'm a professional indexer with over ten years experience. I work on a wide range of subjects but particularly specialise in linguistics, social sciences, birth, parenting and children. Love working on biographies/ memoirs. I offer embedded indexing as well as traditional and enjoy exploring novel ways of indexing. Happy to offer advice on potential projects and provide quotes. Always meet deadlines.
