INDEXING
I index texts on the above subjects, and also accept books in other areas at a popular or introductory level of readership.
​
Subject Specialisms (see also Background)
I have indexed a number of Art History texts aimed at the general reader and have regularly taken courses and visited exhibitions to expand my knowledge.. My main area of interest is western art from the mid-19 to early 20th centuries. I am interested in women artists, and have indexed five titles in the Modern Women Artists series produced by Eiderdown Books.
​
Indexes are important in children's non-fiction books. As a librarian I taught primary school groups how to use books and indexes and have useful insights which inform how I create indexes for younger children. In addition I have a wide experience of indexing school and vocational textbooks at all levels.
​
I have enjoyed indexing Local History accounts and for many years managed library local history collections. Texts include a history of Ventnor IOW. I am particularly interested in Social History. I volunteer with a local heritage research group.
​
Degree level studies in psychology underpin my indexes for psychology and health and well-being texts, and books on education.
​
I have had a lifelong interest and participation in classical singing. Books indexed on various Music topics including music education, music therapy, electronic music, music hall and jazz.
