I'm a freelance indexer and editor, among other things. Words and indexing are in my blood. I love helping others find information, and fixing errors.

Publishing professionals and editors, please do come to @indexers #IndexDay event @PublishersAssoc on 28 March to learn more on indexing, including some live index-making with me. A few spaces left; booking closes 20 March. We’d love to talk with you about better book indexes.

@stephenullstrom @AudreysBooks Congrats. I bought my copy from Smashwords.

[Jessica Crooks @Indexer_Jess]

@MichelleSKenned I have one. Not as beautiful as this?

[Jessica Crooks @Indexer_Jess]

@MichelleSKenned I don't think my PB fits the mould, but who knows. A critique maybe just be what I need. It is a non-fiction teaching children about hybrids in a fun way.

[Jessica Crooks @Indexer_Jess]

@MichelleSKenned I am sorry that your son isn't well. Enjoy your Christmas even though your plans have changed.

[Jessica Crooks @Indexer_Jess]

@scrambly_io I am blessed.

When imposter syndrome shows up, and you get a message like this, "The Index is great! Thank you."

#Indexing is like working in a university library and I love it. This week, the books I have received to index are on nutrition, edibles, Christianity, surgery, and mood disorders. #freelanceindexer #indexing #books

I love indexing. The knowledge gained from the books I read is sometimes random but always interesting. #freelanceindexer #books #indexer
