My name is Stephen Ullstrom.

As an experienced, award-winning professional, I can help you create publications that will satisfy your readers and save you time and effort.

My publishing services include the following:

Indexing—my specialty. I create indexes that are comprehensive and thoughtfully structured, for academic, trade, and textbooks. With my experience from indexing over a hundred books in the last four years for several repeat clients, and winning an indexing award my second year as a freelancer, you can rest assured your readers will have a truly useful index.

“I went through [the index] yesterday and think you did a terrific job. The authors agreed. The conceptual entries are just right.”

—Lesley Erickson, Production Editor at UBC Press

Proofreading—every manuscript needs a look-over with fresh eyes. I will capture those last remaining errors before the text goes to press. And if you need both an indexer and a proofreader, I can offer you a special package.

Images researching—I will sift through the archives to find the images you want. I can also handle the permissions, citations, and even captions.

I also write and edit, and I will project manage aspects of the publishing process.

After six years of wide-ranging experience in book and journal publishing, I know what readers and publishers are looking for.

At LifeTree Media, we pride ourselves on the excellence of our work, so we are proudly picky about the contributors to whom we entrust our beloved books. Stephen is our go-to proofreader and indexer. He can always be relied upon for his sharp eye and sensitive judgment, delivering reliable results on time and in good cheer. We highly recommend him, especially when the work really matters.

— Maggie Langrick, President and Publisher of LifeTree Media
