Confessions of a Cultural Idiot

NEED HELP WITH EDITING?

I have edited projects in many fields, from website content to academic books, to short and long fiction, to business and educational materials.

I’m a certified editor and have been a member of the Editors’ Association of Canada. I also have two Humanities degrees (BA, MA, Philosophy of World Religions) from the University of Calgary.

If your first language is not English, you have come to the right place. I have worked with a great many people to help bring their text in line with proper, understandable English. My studies of Russian, German, French, and classical Hebrew in university have sharpened my grammatical skills and further enhanced my ability to recognize and produce sound writing.

DO YOU NEED ANY WRITING DONE?

My writing ranges as widely as my editing projects. Here are just a few examples of the type of writing I’ve done:

• website text (About Us pages, Mission Statements, articles, blog posts for clients, social media, etc)
• business reports and other materials for several oil companies
• articles on hobbies for the 50+ age group
• articles on socializing feral cats
• weekly articles on the business side of the anime industry
• weekly articles on business and cultural topics for marketing firms
• promotional product emails for marketing firms
• promotional “Advertorials” for marketing firms

My business website can be found at MyShinyIdeas.com, and I also write articles and observations on Bookishgal, a book-related blog.

Other writing I’ve done, or am working on:

• several adult and young adult novels currently in progress or under consideration for publication
• a non-fiction book also under consideration for publication
• the first of several proposed ebooks, in progress

So just let me know what sort of writing you need, and I’ll get it done for you! Visit me at my business blog, and we’ll discuss your project.
