INDEXING EXPERIENCE

Published indexes completed in various subjects

Freelance indexer, November, 2006, to present

Positions in education, including Christian and public schools, and also in business. My background allows me to create indexes in accessible form for the professional as well as the layperson. Familiarity with theological terminology is another benefit of my experience. My first client was a publisher of educational books, and my second a publisher of religious books, and I continue to receive projects from both.

Reviewer for other indexers (Peer Review Group)
