General Experience

I am a freelance indexer with years of experience in editing and marketing, as well as being a published novelist. I hold a degree in English Language and Literature, and have nurtured a further interest in the broad areas of law, history, culture and linguistics. I am available for projects all year round, and have indexed titles in a wide variety of genres (see below for a selection of recent titles).
