General Experience
I am a specialist in classical and traditional music and musicology, and in feminist politics and non-sexist language. I have over 30 years’ experience as a qualified indexer working on academic books, textbooks and general trade books. I find combining proofreading and indexing particularly effective. I welcome short projects, for which I can usually offer fast turnaround.
