I am a professional screenwriter, editor, and script doctor who has written for CBS, Paramount+, Amazon, and Paramount Pictures. I've crafted features for 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., Happy Madison, and Bad Robot. A pilot of mine was produced by NBC, as well as a children's episodic for Cartoon Network and an animated pilot for Adult Swim. I've also done short-form comedy material for entities like The Onion, HBO, and National Lampoon. I've written faith-based material for PureFlix, Super Bowl commercials, and am the Head Writer for Monarch Wine - a digital magazine devoted to vino and music. Previous to my own professional career, I worked as an Oscar-nominated screenwriter's assistant for eight years, trusted with the editing, proofreading, and content development for a number of major studio projects. I work swiftly without sacrificing quality and am adept in a number of genres. I'm a mentor with the International Screenwriters' Association and have a BFA from Emerson College. I furthered my studies with the Act One program in Los Angeles. I'm a write-at-home dad and a night owl, with a prolific output that I'd love to put towards projects like yours.

My name is Katie Gallardo, and I’m an award-winning author, professional ghostwriter, and SEO content strategist with a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Nebraska Omaha. Over the course of my career, I’ve written hundreds of top-ranking blog posts, developed original fiction projects, and created content for clients across a wide range of industries. As a result, I’m equally comfortable crafting content designed to rank in search engines as I am building stories that entertain, engage, and resonate with audiences. Whether you need original content written from scratch or existing material refined and polished, I bring both creative vision and technical expertise to every project. Beyond SEO and content marketing, I’ve spent years writing within the entertainment industry. My experience spans television pilots, short films, music videos, video games, novels, commercials, non-fiction projects, and digital media campaigns. Along the way, I’ve developed a strong foundation in character development, worldbuilding, lore creation, and narrative structure, allowing me to create stories that feel immersive, cohesive, and memorable. No matter the format, my goal is always the same: to create content that captures attention and leaves a lasting impression. In addition to my expertise in writing, I am bilingual in American Sign Language, I've worked heavily in the swim industry, and I've led teams as a national manager. If your work pertains to any of these subjects, I'll be even more qualified to assist.

I miss the days when getting jobs was based on talent and skill and not on who had the most money to buy connections! A slap in the face to us starving artists aside, here's a little about me: I have nearly 20 years of experience in the writing world. I have done everything from serving as a technical writer for the government to serving as director of marketing for an educational therapy institute. I can write long-form or short-form copy and everything from landing pages to radio spots to scripts for videos and email copy. A few of my niches include mental health, wellness, pets, lifestyle, home improvement, cannabis, wine, food, candy, and parenting. I have also worked with tons of clients in the fashion industry, even though I wear socks with sandals. I have loads of experience in marketing, including SEO optimization, email funnels, lead magnets, paid ads, A/B testing, and social media. My rate is fairly flexible, especially if your industry is one I'm passionate about (such as mental health, sustainability, or animals). What you'll get from me is a driven, smart, and efficient writer, editor, and marketer who is extremely creative and very easy to work with (check out my reviews). What you won't get is a disappearing act, dishonesty, or half an effort (as online job portals have begun to feel more like dating apps, I feel like I should mention all this). I am available for one-time jobs as well as long-term contracts. I have clients I met on here that I've worked with for nearly a decade. Thanks for reading this and have a great day!
