Alan Yoshioka, PhD | AY's Edit

I have completed UC Berkeley’s course Indexing: Theory and Application and written several dozen indexes.
I’m a Certified Proofreader recognized by Editors Canada for excellence in that skill (and copy editing too). Clients appreciate the bonus list of corrections I regularly produce along with the index. I bring to my work a broad interdisciplinary background including a BMath degree (Waterloo); an MES (York); and a PhD in the history of science, technology and medicine (Imperial College).

“Alan Yoshioka was patient, painstaking, and professional, precisely the traits every author looks for in an indexer. I recommend him highly.”
—Matthew Anderson, PhD, author of Prophets of Love: The Unlikely Kinship of Leonard Cohen and the Apostle Paul
