  About Katie Gutierrez Painter     

  Katie Gutierrez Painter earned a BA in English from Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX, with additional training in creative writing and editing/publishing from the University of Melbourne, Australia. She is now a Creative Writing (Fiction) M.F.A. candidate at Texas State University.  


  Prior to founding Legacy Editorial Consulting in 2007, Katie spent equal amounts of time as a creative writer, publicist, and journalist. Working in publicity with Phenix and Phenix Literary Publicists -- an Austin literary publicity firm responsible for catapulting 27 books to bestseller status since its inception in 1994 -- she became intimately familiar with marketing diverse genres of literature, and has adapted some of those publicity strategies for Legacy&#39;s diverse corporate clients. Between 2005-2007, she worked as a reporter and editorial assistant for   People   magazine, where she reported on news stories that consistently caught the attention of a nation.  


  Today, Katie is a regular contributor to business trade publications such as American   Builders Quarterly, Green Business Quarterly, Hispanic Executive Quarterly,   and   Growing Wealth  . Her fiction and creative nonfiction can be seen in   Open Windows Anthology   (Ghost Road Press, 2008),   Chicken Soup for the Soul   (Health Communications, 2008),   The Scruffy Dog Review    and Narrative magazine. Through Legacy, she has collaborated with nearly 20 emerging and established authors to prepare their work for publication, and most clients&#39; books can now be found on Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. She has also collaborated in writing two fiction books, both being published to early acclaim this fall.

  Business Services    

  Whether your business is banking, real estate, information technology, retail, public relations, nonprofit, or anything in between, your written materials need to be more than sufficient. They need to speak with your voice and values, and be written with your unique offerings and clientele in mind. At Legacy, we offer (but are certainly not limited to) the following services:  

    Websites, including blogs:   In our web-based world, any company serious about attracting and maintaining customers should have a website. It can&#39;t, however, be just any website. We will work with you to create website content so customized, informative, and even search engine friendly that you&#39;ll wonder (as we do!) how anyone ever does without it.  

  
  Newsletters:   You need newsletters that unify employees and keep customers informed of the latest products, achievements, and events within the industry. We can help create timely newsletters in a variety of styles, from casual to technical, in industries including legal and medical and in print or electronic mediums. Ask about our options!  


    Press releases:   With experience both as publicists and journalists, we will create press releases that capture and keep media attention, while also best representing your product, service, or event. Press releases are also a wonderful way to keep your clients informed of updates within your company, so if you don&#39;t yet have a &quot;news&quot; section on your website, you might think of adding one!
    
  
  
    Articles:   Whether for internal company circulation, popular or trade publications, or professional journals, we can ghotwrite, co-write, or edit articles of any length and style, with surprisingly quick turnaround (hours, if need be). We will ensure that anything you submit for publication is engaging, accurate, and free of embarrassing grammatical or typographical errors--guaranteed.  



    Brochures and other print collateral material:   Despite our belief in the power of electronic media, we at Legacy Editorial Consulting also have a deep devotion to the printed word. We can help you create brochures, flyers, sales letters, and more that will   inspire   potential customers to connect further with your business. (And in our opinion, inspiration is the shortcut to action.)
    
  
  
    
  Rates: $45 - $85 per hour depending on project; alternatively, ask about our affordable monthly retainer fees.

  There is nothing more crucial to the work of a beginning or established writer than the editing process.  It is during this stage that you should most challenge your writing, while celebrating its moments of success.  From conception of an idea to a final proofread, I will help you create a manuscript fit for publication.  I am available to help with all genres and lengths of fiction and nonfiction.  


   Proofreading:  

  You have read and reread your manuscript so many times that your words have begun to acquire that &ldquo;ring of the inevitable&rdquo; that seasoned writer Annie Dillard cautions against.  You have enlisted the help of professional and/or nonprofessional editors to help you develop character, enliven dialogue, structure chapters, and assure you that your plot does, indeed, make sense.  All you&rsquo;re missing is a final, impartial pair of eyes to correct for any stray grammatical, spelling, punctuation, and typographical errors.  This service, then, is for you, and includes:  


  
  Line-by-line copyedit  
  Unlimited telephone conferences  
  Turnaround time of 5-10 days&nbsp;  
  

  Rate: $2.25 per 250-word page  



  Full Content Edit:  

  You have finished your first draft, or perhaps your second or third, and would like a full, detailed editorial critique of your manuscript.  You would like to ensure that the plot is compelling and consistent, characters are three-dimensional, dialogue is realistic, setting is believable, and the point of view used is the most effective way to tell your story.  Or, if you&rsquo;re a nonfiction writer, you want to ascertain that organization is smooth, sources are quoted and cited correctly, facts are inscrutable,and voice is engaging.  And you would also like a final proofread for all things grammatical.  In short, you want a final draft.  A full content edit will get you there.  This service includes:  

  
  5-20 page editorial critique: what works, what doesn&rsquo;t, and why  
  Line-by-line corrections/suggestions on manuscript via Word&#39;s &quot;Track Changes&quot; feature  

  Up to 3 editorial &quot;rounds&quot;  

  Weekly or biweekly telephone conferences  

  Final proofread for grammar, punctuation, spelling, typos, etc.  

  Turnaround time of 2-4 months, depending on length and stage of work  
  

  Rate: $5.00-$8.00 per 250-word page  

    Comprehensive Edit:    

  As its name implies, this service is for the writer who has a great idea, and possibly an outline or partial draft, but lacks the experience or time to follow it through the entire manuscript.  You know what you want to say, why it&rsquo;s important, and why readers would love it, but you&rsquo;re not sure what the next steps are to a complete manuscript.  You should consider a comprehensive edit, which includes:  

  
  One-on-one consultations to develop original idea into feasible outline    Aid with detailed plan for character, plot, voice, and setting for fiction; concept development, organization, and fact sources for nonfiction    All elements of full content edit  

  All elements of proofread    Turnaround time of 3-5 months, depending on project  
  

  Rates: $45-$75 per hour OR flat project fee (to be determined upon consultation)  

    Ghostwriting or Co-writing  

  :    

  Perhaps you&#39;re a busy CEO, a first-time parent, a physician, a student, or a politician; or maybe you&#39;re an artist, entrepreneur, or athlete. Maybe you&#39;re none of these or even all of them. At Legacy, we firmly believe that   everybody   has a story to tell--and we will put as much time, care, and enthusiasm into helping you tell your story as if it were our own. Ghostwriting and co-cowriting services include:    

  
  One-on-one consultations to develop original idea into synopsis and detailed outline  
  In-depth&nbsp;plans for character, plot, voice, and setting for fiction; concept development, organization, and fact sources for nonfiction    Carefully developed timeline of chapter delivery dates    Expertly crafted chapters    All elements of full content edit  
  All elements of proofread  
  Turnaround time of 4-7 months, depending on project  
  

  Rates: $65-$95 per hour OR flat project fee (to be determined upon consultation)  

  * Please note that all rates are guides only and subject to change based on individual project needs.  ]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Sep 2008 17:13:32 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.legacyeditorialconsulting.com/blog/home/literary-services/</link><guid>http://www.legacyeditorialconsulting.com/blog/home/literary-services/</guid></item></channel></rss>
