I have used Metcalf Editorial Services for indexing two books, one a single-authored monograph, the other an edited volume. The service was excellent--Anne Metcalf is incredibly responsive, works *very* well with a deadline (especially important with indexing academic books), is super sharp and intuitive. The indexes for both books were thorough and helpful (especially difficult when you are working with an anthology with several authors). I highly recommend Metcalf Editorial Services--I will be using them for any future projects. Sarah Banet-Weiser, Sept 20, 2019

I had the pleasure to work with Metcalf Editorial Services on one book. Anne Metcalf did copyediting for several chapters of my book with outstanding professionalism and quality. As a non-native speaker, I was able to comfortably rely on her ability to rewrite sentences and propose expressions that ultimately made the reading flow smooth and precise. It was a wonderful experience working with her and I can only recommend Anne's services.

I've used Metcalf Editorial Services for two books, copy editing and indexing. She is a superb writer and goes far beyond basic copyediting to rewrite sentences that capture your intent with graceful, direct prose. Her feedback is always constructive and supportive. For indexing, she takes the time to really understand what's going to be significant and useful to the reader, and her work is always letter perfect. All this for a bargain rate.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I studied at the University of Southern California, and hold an MFA in Screenwriting from the American Film Institute. I am a creative writer, but I grew up around academics so I've been immersed in that world since childhood! I also have been teaching group and private lessons to students 8-18 in both creative writing and essay writing for the past several years.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I have worked with tenured academics on their books, PhD students on their dissertations, creative writers of all kinds, and fellow screenwriters!

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    I recently created the index for a brilliant film studies text on Indian cinema for Duke University Press. I also had the opportunity to copyedit a collection of lyrical personal essays about the nightlife scene in lower Manhattan in the 80's.
