General Experience
I specialise in indexing arts and humanities subjects, including English literature, history, art history and visual arts. I also have experience of indexing social science subjects and am happy to index a broad range of subjects aimed at a general readership.
Before becoming a professional indexer I worked as a library cataloguer at the University of London and at the British Museum, cataloguing subjects including art history, literature, social history, ancient history and archaeology. I have a BA in English and an MA in Librarianship.
I am available for indexing work throughout the year, sometimes at short notice.
