I offer editing services for writing on subjects related to Japan. My experience includes editing and proofreading translated light novels for J-Novel Club and translated manga and light novels for Seven Seas, copyediting for Stone Bridge Press, writing and editing for the website Tofugu.com, and editing and proofreading of academic journal articles in Japanese linguistics.

I run social media for Yokai Parade, an original character project based on Japanese folklore in collaboration with artist Lili Chin and noted monster scholar and translator Zack Davisson. Check us out on Twitter, Instagram, and Etsy.
