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.

Good morning! Getting ready for #SIConf23 in Leeds

Indexer (and The Indexer) on a train, Autumn 2023.

Off to Leeds for the Society of Indexers #SIConf23 conference – our first UK in-person one since 2019. All sorts of excited to present, catch up and learn. Indexers assemble!

One week left to book for the Society of Indexers conference on Tues 26th Sept in Leeds. I’ll be there, officially talking about CPD tips for Fellowship, and cryptic crossword setting compared to index writing, and unofficially much more besides. See also you at #SIConf23?
