Heather Pendley, a member of the EFA since 2017, is a freelance indexer, copyeditor, and owner of Pendley’s Pro Editing & Indexing (basically, she’s a big word nerd). After 15 years of working with numbers in banking and accounting, she returned to her first love—books and words—earning UCSD's Specialized Certificate in Copyediting and training as an indexer at UC Berkeley. She currently serves on the American Society for Indexing (ASI) board and is its Training in Indexing course administrator. Heather has also been serving on the SD/PEN (San Diego Professional Editors Network) board since 2021, was an elected member at large on EFA’s Board of Governors, and has judged the ACES Headline Competition. She enjoys reading, writing, and talking about indexing and editing. Heather lives in Southern California with her family, which includes two rescue dogs, and can be found at various bookstores and libraries in San Diego county or at PendleysProEditing.com.
