Welcome to my website!
Looking for a science indexer?
Are you a publisher or author seeking a skilled and scientifically literate indexer to make a prestige title fully and quickly accessible to its intended readership?
Look no further
I offer fast, accurate indexing of technical material,
especially in astronomy, organic chemistry, life sciences, general and popular science and computing, for authors
and publishers worldwide.
I have recently worked for Cambridge University Press, Canopus Books, Cassell Illustrated, Ilex Books, John Wiley & Sons, the Open University, the Royal Society
of Chemistry, SitePoint Pty Ltd., SNP BestSet and Taylor & Francis
I can meet tight deadlines with paperless working by email and FTP or manage longer-term commitments like cumulative periodical indexes
I am a regular tutor and writer on indexing for the Society of Indexers, with
special expertise on embedded indexing, using either MS Word tools or XML markup insertion
I believe - and would love to be able to prove - that a good index should measurably increase sales as well as enhancing the publisher's image with authors and readers
My additional skills include abstracting, training and lecturing, thesaurus construction, copy editing and proofreading and documentation (but I really
prefer indexing).
As I now live on the Isle of Skye, I am also keen
to index books by local authors or about the history, culture and wildlife of the Hebrides and
Western Scotland.
