General Experience
I have a background in languages (French and Arabic to degree level) and cultural studies with a particular interest in North and West Africa. I provide back-of-the-book, periodical and embedded indexes in my specialist subject areas, as well as on most subjects which are aimed at a general readership level. I have experience in indexing trade books, academic texts, multi-authored works and the peer-reviewed journal of the Baptist Historical Society. In addition to my subject specialisms, I welcome work, large or small projects, on most subjects for a general readership.
