Michael Goldstein’s work is meticulous—he has compiled many indexes for SUNY Press over the years, and the authors are always happy with his work. It’s a pleasure to deal with a true professional who is reliable and dedicated!

I’m a production editor at Simon & Schuster and have hired Michael for several projects, either as indexer or as proofreader/cold reader. His work is impeccable. He’s very professional, prompt, and thorough, always a pleasure to work with.

Michael Goldstein creates accurate indexes within agreed upon timelines and is willing to revise indexes based on authors’ feedback. We are fortunate to have Michael index for us on a regular basis.

Michael is an expert indexer: thorough in his work, clear in his communication, and always sensitive to deadlines. As a publisher, I employ his services regularly and frequently recommend him to others.

Michael has provided copyediting and indexing services for several academic book projects I have project managed and his work is always very good. He has a sharp eye for detail which has helped improve the clarity and consistency of the work without changing its meaning. His indexes are well-organized and thoughtfully put together, making the final product more accessible to readers. Michael is very easy to work with and I’m happy to recommend his services.

Michael Goldstein is my new go-to indexer for the Press’s titles in the areas of Asian Studies and Contemporary Chinese Studies, and all of the style complexities and challenges inherent within. The indexes he’s created for Press books on these subjects reflect his knowledge of, experience in, and comfort level with these topics, in addition to his deft command of standard indexing conventions. I would not hesitate to recommend him as an indexer for scholarly monographs or collections, or otherwise academic books, on these topics and others of a slightly esoteric nature.
