“. . . and thank you, especially, for the wonderful job you did on the index. You created an extraordinarily creative and accurate tool.”

—from Pamela Smith, author of
The Body of the Artisan
(University of Chicago Press, 2003) 
 
 

Since 1998, I have indexed textbooks, scholarly, trade, professional, medical, and cookery books. I have created annual and cumulative indexes for journals, and worked as part of a large database indexing team. I have also participated in thesaurus development activities.

Using indexing techniques such as cross-references and multiple entry points, my indexes enhance access to the text and weave a logical route among terms. They are comprehensive, clear, and user-friendly. I consistently receive repeat work from my clients and high praise from both authors and editors.

I speak, read, and index in French as well as English. I have studied Spanish, Italian, and several Slavic languages.
