UPDATE for 2026: I’m open part-time for indexing projects. Past clients are especially encouraged to check with me via email. For the last few years, I’ve been working in Japan, primarily as a high-school teacher. However, I can still receive payments in the US. Below is my indexing self-intro followed by testimonials.
Indexing since 2016. I value craftsmanship and communication. Hello, world: all inquiries welcome.
TESTIMONIALS
“I reached out to Mike about my edited book project and not only was he extremely timely with his reply and all subsequent communication, but he took a genuine interest in my scholarship. Over just a short amount of time, Mike was able to arrange for me a very comprehensive index. . . The whole experience was very enjoyable, and Mike not only incorporated some of my suggestions, but his professional expertise on a few specifics made all the difference. I would highly recommend him for your book project and will seek him out for future projects.” – Philip Kao, anthropologist
“I also want to offer my very high praise for Mike Hurley and his work on the indexing. He is wonderfully collegial and engaging, and completes the work in a professional and timely manner. As there were many indexers to choose from, Mike proved to be someone I would return to again and again as future book projects arise.” – Richard McCarty, professor of religious studies
