Overview
I work with both academic and trade publishers, as well as working directly with writers and academics.I am a professional member of the Society of Indexers and I index books across the arts and humanities spectrum, with particular expertise in history, literature, film, theatre, cultural studies, gender studies, biography/memoir, popular culture and lifestyle books, plus children's non-fiction. I can provide traditional back-of-the-book indexes, or embedded indexes in Microsoft Word.I am an Intermediate member of the CIEP. Recent proofreading clients include The History Press, Hodder & Stoughton, Unicorn Publishing and Flint Books. I work on both fiction and non-fiction titles. I have a degree in English and History from the University of Leeds and a Masters degree in Information Studies from Leeds Metropolitan University. Previously I worked in arts marketing for an independent cinema and a theatre. I also have experience of working as a freelance copywriter and as a librarian in academic and public libraries. I spent some time working as a bookseller too.So one way or another I've always worked with words and books, and I wouldn't have it any other way.I look forward to finding out about your project!
