Services and Resume

The primary service I offer is the creation of indexes for academic publications and trade books. Ultimately I strive to create an index that is best for the author, publisher, and reader.

Please take a look at my resume to get a sense of my education, experience, and skills.

​I am a professionally trained indexer with over four years of indexing experience and a PhD in philosophy focused on ethics. I am dedicated to creating accurate, accessible, and comprehensive indexes that are faithful to the complexity of the text in a timely manner.

The name Logos Indexing is based on my philosophical approach to indexing, which holds that there is an order to be found within the text that I seek to reflect in the index for the reader and according to the specifications of the author or publisher.

To achieve this end, I draw on my five years of experience teaching as a college professor and 14 years of experience working at a university research library to incorporate the ways in which human beings seek, identify, and retain information for the purpose of understanding.

As a result of this experience, I have both the knowledge and skills required to index the most sophisticated, nuanced, and abstract texts.

Previously I have worked on projects that included large handbooks, dedicated name and subject indices, indices locorum, revising and updating indices, works-in-progress, and variable timelines for completion. 

I have language skills in the areas of German, French, Spanish, and Ancient Greek. 


I am particularly interested in projects that are challenging, extensive, or unique.

My areas of specialty include:
  • philosophy
  • ethics (normative ethics, applied ethics, metaethics)
  • bioethics and medical humanities
  • intellectual history
  • anthropology
  • psychology
  • sociology
  • evolutionary biology
  • religion and spirituality
  • history
  • humanities
  • medieval studies
  • cultural studies
  • gender studies
  • politics
  • biographies
  • economics
  • critical theory
  • social work
  • art
  • animation
  • technology
  • folk lore
  • professional education
  • cookbooks

In addition, I offer services in proofreading, copyediting, line editing, and manuscript preparation.

I have an intimate knowledge of academic publishing and the process of drafting, editing, and completing theses at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral level.

Finally, I have the ability to improve the editing of a text in terms of typographical errors, readability, flow, and the underlying conceptual framework of the text.
