This blog is fun, but I don’t make a living from it. In real life, I’m a book indexer - I’ve been writing indexes since 1992. I index technical documentation, and I’ve worked on books about cooking, computer programming, gardening, crafts, firefighting, managing fireworks, basic electronics, metrology, and lots of other subjects. If you’re interested in having me index a book, you can reach me through mail AT newworldgeek DOT com.
