A recap of Society of Indexers’ National Indexing Day from 2017 to present

A successful day at Society of Indexers National Indexing Day #IndexDay, running two half-day workshops for publishers on all aspects of indexing, plus a live indexing exercise with me. Also great to be joined by SI honorary members Sam Leith and Dennis Duncan, who ended up indexing his own INDEX book! 🤓

I enjoyed giving my ‘rowdy hermits’ talk at the Society of Indexers #SIConf23 conference, comparing the writing of crosswords and indexes (like Pixie’s #IndexDay puzzle). Shout-outs given to Alan Connor, Boatman Cryptics, #CrypticSunday (see also @archelina and @matt) and Raider’s MyCrossword site. All in a book frock, of course.

I "got into" #indexing after reading Index, A History of the #ISBN9781324002550 by #dennisduncan and have been looking forward to celebrating this #Holiday (well, holiday, anyway)

What holiday could possibly be more suited to #hashtags? 😉 cc @chrismessina
