Always fun to run Microsoft's spellcheck when you're working on a fantasy text and every third word seems to have red squiggles under it.

I've double-checked my book publisher's rules & nowhere do they explicitly forbid index terms that look legit but are in fact snarky hot takes on academia. #AmIndexing

Recalling what a deeply human process it is to create a truly useful book index — not replicable by any automated or AI system, as it requires a theory of mind, a deep understanding of the audience & their likely needs, preferred search-terms, and points of confusion.

I’m a (class of 2026) librarian. You can tell because I have strong opinions on genres and will NOT be twirling on any ladders like Belle.
Hi I’m a romance author. You can tell because of my pink feather boa and poofy pink feather pen that I twirl as I stare up into space before opining on biceps.

#Indexing for Oxford always makes me think of C3PO. (This is because OUP texts are indexed by chapter and paragraph number; e.g. C3P1.)
