ABOUT

As a specialist book indexer since 2018, I am professional, flexible and quality-oriented.

I provide reader-friendly indexes to meet the requirements of authors and publishers, on schedule and within budget. From concise name indexes to full subject indexes, I can adapt to your needs.

I have worked with publishers such as Hal Leonard, Saqi Books and Applause Books.

My specialisms are the arts, humanities and biography. I hold a BA Hons degree in Fine Art from the University of the Arts London. My professional background in music and understanding of music theory and history means I am especially suited to these topics, but I am open to any and all subjects (I have produced indexes on topics ranging from the Second World War to Star Wars!)

Once I receive your manuscript I will read it meticulously, creating a detailed, thorough, and most importantly, useful index.

Indexed titles include: ‘She Bop: The Definitive History of Women in Popular Music’ by Lucy O’Brien, ‘Narrative Threads: Palestinian Embroidery in Contemporary Art’ and ‘Relax Baby Be Cool: The Artistry And Audacity Of Serge Gainsbourg’ by Jeremy Allen.
