Welcome to my website!
Are you a publisher or author seeking a skilled indexer with a scientific background?
I offer fast, accurate indexing of technical material,
especially in astronomy, organic chemistry, 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. and Taylor & Francis
I can meet tight deadlines with paperless working by email and
FTP
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
My additional skills include abstracting,
thesaurus construction, training, 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.
