Rebecca was highly professional and prompt with her work on indexing my cookbook. She was able to remain flexible given the page allocation for the index, which I really appreciated. Her end product was very detailed and accurate. Highly recommend!

Cookbooks are my specialty—books I have edited have won or been finalists for James Beard, IACP, and Gourmand awards.

I work in the food and drink space, with heavy crossover into self-help and fantasy. I like to think of myself as specializing in escapes.
