I have also given numerous part- and full-day seminars on indexing and related topics for associations and corporations. I was Guest Editor for the December 2011 issue of The Indexer: The International Journal of Indexing, and I have also written articles for The Indexer on indexer ethics and gauging index length.

"Just a note to let you know how pleased I am with the index, and that I had a note yesterday from Susan Laity at Yale, the copyeditor and project manager on the book, who said she thought it was excellent. ... We both agree it will be really helpful to readers. You really 'got' the themes and concepts of the book."
