The Society of @Indexers would also like to thank our outgoing Honorary President, Sam Leith @questingvole. Sam has been a vital part of our activities for ten years, helping to spread the word on the importance of good book indexes and indexers. We wish him all the very best.

The Society of @Indexers is delighted to announce that our new Honorary President is author, journalist and non-fiction champion @CaroSanderson. We look forward to working together to promote indexes and indexers in the publishing world. Read more below. indexers.org.uk/posts/new-hono…

@CaroSanderson @indexers We indexers are equally delighted, thank you. Welcome aboard!

Delighted to say that I have today been made Honorary President of @indexers. Honoured President more like - indexers are awesome!

Back to share a good news announcement from @indexers this afternoon, then I’ll be out of here properly. I am much happier elsewhere now so that’s where I will be.

Time for me to get out of here, for a while at least. Hope to see you somewhere else.

Looking forward to @MurderIncComedy at @alaughstockport in Stockport’s Belgium bar Thread on Wednesday. I’m just in the mood for some Deathspionage. 🧐

Heading over to Bluesky? 🦋 Check out the starter packs for discovering your people, including this one I set up for book indexers. You can find me there at @baindex.org. See you skywards too?

Last night I went to a lecture on the impact of the Hampton Court Conference of 1604. The lecturer brought along several contemporary documents including the Basilikon Doron of 1603. The original owner provided a brief index which may interest @indexers

For the first in a series of blog posts, we've asked some experienced Society of Indexers Professional Members to share their thoughts, tips and wisdom with us. Today, they answer the most irritating question for any indexer: can't a computer do that? buff.ly/40qEr1s

@Stewart_Brookes Glad to be of some help and good luck with the rest of it.

@PC_Bain @djbduncan Not too late, and I’m v grateful!

Dear Indexing experts, might I ask for your help? I'm indexing a book abt borrowing & loanwords, & would grateful for any thoughts abt what to do w/ words that are ubiquitous, e.g. "borrowing" & "loanwords". Should I leave them out entirely? *Passim* seems not right. @djbduncan

@mcr6uk @nickcave @AOArena It’s such an incredible all-round experience. I’m going to try to keep focusing on that.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds @nickcave at the @AOArena in Manchester last night were all kinds of amazing. Now feeling very much like this today.

@djbduncan anniversaire, bon 🥳 And happy half-century to you!

Spending the last day of my forties in Paris!
