Speciality
The benefit of hiring a specialist over a generalist is that the specialist will already be familiar with the vocabulary and concepts of the genre and will not have to go through a learning curve. A specialist in the fields of religious studies and spiritualism will be able to create a more nuanced index than a generalist. As specialists we know better what the readers of spiritual or religious texts are looking for in an index and are able to better serve our clients.
Background
Mentored by Kari Kells, co-author of Inside Indexing : The Decision-Making Process and instructor of the Graduate School of Indexing.
"Rosey is a bright and motivated indexer. She applied the theories presented in class to the indexes she created, not something that is easy for everyone. Her indexes show that she clearly understands how to write indexes for them to be most useful to information seekers."
