Introduce Yourself : Football, Books, Music, Chocolate, Beaches! Not always necessarily in that order! by Paulette K. Kinnes

Greetings Everyone, Are you a closet novelist or an expert in your field? Do you hope to publish that first book manuscript or write your first screenplay? The time is now! The publishing landscape has been rocked and changed forever. You may be a part of the revolution! But in order to succeed, you must put a stellar product into the marketplace, or your project may forever fade into obscurity. Warning signs that scream hasty author: ♦ Word Redundancies ♦ Punctuation Errors ♦ Inconsistencies ♦ Misspellings And Typos ♦ Incorrectly Used Words I help authors take their projects From Manuscript To Masterpiece©. Allow me to assist you with achieving your dreams of publication. While other editors may edit on the side, editing is my full-time passion. Let's eat Grandma. Let's eat, Grandma. Commas save lives! Your expertise in your field should shine through in your book. You have an original story to tell in your screenplay. Go ahead and tell it. ♦ Did a family member edit your manuscript or screenplay for you? ♦ Did your best friend give your screenplay or manuscript a ringing endorsement? Rather than taking a cheap shortcut to publication or production, I will partner with you to produce a tight, polished, engaging book or screenplay for your audience. Many authors who take an economical route to publication or production see lackluster sales and bad reviews or little interest in their project. This does not have to happen to you! Hire a professional editor, who will: ♦ Review your screenplay or manuscript with the eyes of an expert and who looks for up to 67 different possible issues in your manuscript or screenplay ♦ Permit you to have fun, while you collaborate with a passionate advocate for your success Paulette performed not a superficial edit on my book, she went much deeper and transformed it into something that I am thrilled to publish! ~ Liz Wendling My name is Paulette K. Kinnes, and I am a professional freelance editor and writer (and reader!) based in Denver, Colorado. I specialize in assisting authors with creating manuscripts and/or screenplays that they may be confident in sending to agents and/or filmmakers or proud to self-publish. I also love working with authors in the developmental stages of their books and screenplays. If you have written a screenplay or are writing a screenplay and you would like assistance in polishing it up for reading by others, please feel free to let me know. Likewise, if you or someone you know has either already written a book manuscript or would like to write a book, please do not hesitate to contact me. Regardless of what you have written, I would be happy to help you with creating a clean, polished, marketable product. I may be reached at 303-517-7340 or via e-mail at paulette@platinumeditinggroup.com. I have been freelancing for 10 years and have worked with more than 210 clients in a variety of ways. I spent 14 years in the legal field, drafting, editing, and proofreading documents for Colorado District Courts, the Colorado Court of Appeals, and the Colorado Supreme Court. I am also a sports nut (the Broncos, the Nuggets, the Rockies, and the Avalanche, and weirdly, the Carolina Panthers!) and am passionate about helping athletes, coaches, or others in the sports industry who have a fabulous story to tell, in whatever form they wish to tell it. Lastly, as I have been encouraged by Richard to let all of you know of my dreams and aspirations, here goes! I would love to be a Hollywood script girl. And I don’t even know if there is such a thing! Perhaps someone could let me know. I am very interested in the business of making movies, specifically as it relates to the script. Since I have been reading and writing for a living for the last 25 years, I would love to be the person who initially reads the script. Does someone actually do this job? Please feel free to disabuse me of this fanciful notion, if necessary! Happy Writing! Paulette P.S. ~ If you know Boomer Esiason, please let him know that I would love to assist him with that book that he may not yet know he wishes to write! Paulette K.
