HAZEL BELL

I have been indexing since 1964 and to date have compiled more than 700
published indexes to books and journals. I won the Wheatley Medal in 2005
for my index to Seven Pillars of Wisdom: The complete 1922 "Oxford" text, and again in 2006 for indexing W. B. Yeats: Mythologies edited by Warwick Gould and Deirdre Toomey; Palgrave Macmillan.
I have written a textbook on indexing: Indexing biographies and other stories of human lives (3rd edition, Society of Indexers 2004).
I specialize in indexing biographies, works on English literature and on publishing; theatre; film; film studies; child development. I index journals (learned & professional); newsletters; anthologies & collected works;
diaries & letters.
