About
Hi! I’m Stacy and I’m a freelance Japanese to English Translator; Editor of light novels, manga, and indie fiction; and Game LQA. I’ve been studying the Japanese language and Japanese literature since early 2015. I fell in love with the language while in the middle of earning my English and Creative Writing degree at George Mason University, and I haven’t looked back since.I took my first professional job in early 2019 translating and typesetting manga for Amimaru. At the moment, I'm serving as a Light Novel Editor for J-Novel Club, a Japanese to English Translator and LQA for AllCorrect Games, and a Manga Proofreader/LQA and Japanese to English Translator for Manga Planet. I also occasionally contribute articles and reviews to news websites, primarily on the subject of visual novels.As of November 2023, I am accepting additional freelance work! I’m particularly interested in picking up J-E translation work, specifically in the manga space, but games, light novels, and visual novel projects are welcome as well!
