Thank you for your incredible work... I had never paid attention to how much work indexing takes or how much into the heart of the work you have to go to capture it and distill it as a searchable index.--Ather Zia
We were very impressed by your timely and diligent work in creating a detailed and comprehensive index that will be greatly useful for readers of our book.--Arnaud Kurze
Thank you so much for your great work. The index is admirable - very comprehensive and very wisely organized. I very much like how you created meaningful subject areas in order to make the content accessible. I also like the fact that you included important concepts and the pages where I define them - I think that this will be really helpful for readers.--Nadine Amsler
Your Dyl index is superb!--Julie Van Pelt (UW Press)
I'm really happy with how it [the index] turned out - thanks for being so willing to work with me on perfecting it!--Joanna Dyl
Eileen Allen ... has worked with me on both copyediting and indexing projects for IUP, and I recommend her highly. She has comprehensive knowledge of Chicago style and is meticulous in applying it. As a copyeditor, she can simultaneously tend to mechanical details and the broader narrative needs of a manuscript. In addition, I’m impressed by her skill as an indexer, especially her ability to make sense of complicated text while still managing its granular elements.--David Miller (IU Press)
Indeed, Sid and I wanted to be sure to use this e-mail as an opportunity to extend our deep and sincere gratitude for the fabulous job you did copy-editing this volume. I have worked with a number of different copy-editors, and I feel comfortable saying this has been one of the best and most rewarding set of copy-edits to work through. Your attention to detail is very commendable, and across the board I believe each chapter has been made better by your small but important suggestions. The book feels even more whole than it did several months ago, so thank you!—James Gilmore
I found you to be a conscientious, thoughtful indexer who gave the book a close reading and developed an index that not only assists readers but reflects the larger argument of the book. And, . . . you're prompt, efficient, and easy to work with. . . . I'm definitely glad I didn't attempt this myself—Alex Stefaniak
Oh gosh the index looks really great. . . the time I spent with it during the past week gave me a lot of confidence in its strengths. . . . Again, many thanks for your work, Eileen. I really appreciate this opportunity to work with you.--Agatha Beins
Thanks so much for your help with this and for making it a semi-collaborative effort! . . . I'll definitely have you in mind when it comes to indexing [my next] book.—Arnie Cox
Thank you again for your help and superb service!—Andreas Kuehn
It is a pleasure always to refer your name to all colleagues and I think they will be lucky to get your excellent service.—Eid Mohamed
I think it's perfect! Thanks for adding such a professional touch to my first book.—Nicholas Roberts
Great! It looks a lot better than what I would have done!!--Sydney Hutchinson
