Reed Floarea (they/them) | Floarea Indexing
If an index is a map of the writer’s mind, Reed Floarea is the most brilliant of cartographers, precise, thorough, and imaginative. – Siddhartha Deb, author of Twilight Prisoners: The Rise of the Hindu Right and the Fall of India
Reed Floarea approaches manuscripts with a sharp analytic mind and deep care. Any writer would be lucky to work with them. – Anna Terwiel, author of Prison Abolition for Realists
I focus on back-of-the-book indexes for trade and academic books. I am especially interested in books on queer theory, disability justice, anarchism, abolition, labor movements, and liberation struggles.
