Shiny Ideas Editing/Writing blog
Tips, help, information, and commentary on how to write clearly and how to edit.All About Me
My name is Phyl Good, and I am an experienced editor and writer, living with two cats and 2000 books.
EDITING
I have edited projects ranging from website content to academic books, to short and long fiction, to business and educational materials.
In addition to holding a BA and MA in the Philosophy of World Religions, I am a certified editor and a member of the Editors' Association of Canada.
I have worked with many people whose first language is not English, and I am adept at correcting text to ensure that it is written clearly, in proper English. My studies of Russian, German, French, and classical Hebrew in university have sharpened my grammatical skills and further enhanced my ability to recognize sound writing.
WRITING
My writing itself ranges just as widely. Here's a sample:
I write articles and reviews (books, festivals, lectures, and other cultural events) on a cultural blog, as well as articles and observations on a book-related blog. (See the links at the top of the page.)
