General Experience

My indexing specialisms are law, politics and economics, but I have experience of indexing health, social science, history and English literature studies titles.  I also offer legal tabling and proofreading services.

In 2021, I won the Institute of Certified Indexers’ Purple Pen Indexing Contest for my index to All manner of ingenuity and industry: A bio-bibliography of Dr Thomas Willis (1621-1675), by Alastair Compston.

Before my indexing career, I worked as a law librarian, the information manager of a healthcare publisher and as the manager of two nationwide digital library projects at the UKOLN centre, University of Bath.

I aim to offer my clients a friendly and professional service.  I can often accept assignments at short notice, and I have never missed a deadline.
