“The index is extraordinary—I could never have done it, not in a thousand years.”

—Ariela Marcus-Sells, Assistant Professor, Elon University

“Jess was amazing. Their index has made the book much easier to navigate and provided a sympathetic and insightful guide for readers. I was particularly impressed by the way they tracked distinct, but related concepts across the different traditions discussed, and represented both these distinctions and relations in the index. Jess was also incredibly professional and worked remarkably swiftly and carefully, I cannot recommend their work highly enough.”

—Oludamini Ogunnaike, Assistant Professor, University of Virginia

“Jess did an excellent job indexing a dense, complex book for us. I’ve read hundreds of indexes in the course of my career, and theirs was top-notch.”

—Kristen Cashman, Managing Editor, New World Library
