Peter G.
Book Editor & Researcher | Indexing, Fact-Checking & Metadata
I help authors, publishers, and researchers improve manuscripts, verify sources, and organize information into clear, usable resources. With 25 years of experience in libraries and documentation, a degree in Classics, and a background as a published author, I bring careful research and editorial judgment to every project. My services include: • Book indexing: indexes of names, subjects, and cited passages, with consistent entries and checked page references. • Research and fact-checking: historical and literary research, source verification, bibliography checks, and documented findings. • Italian manuscript editing: improvements to clarity, structure, consistency, and readability while preserving the author’s voice. • Metadata and information organization: cataloguing, classification, and structured records for books and cultural collections. My portfolio includes literary and historical research, editorial work, and a scholarly indexing sample based on my Classics thesis. I am a native Italian speaker with advanced English. Based in Tuscany, I can also support projects requiring Italian-language sources or local research. Send me a brief description of your project, its length or scope, and your deadline. I will suggest a practical approach and provide an estimate.
