Anna S.

Japanese Translator / TV Comedy Writer

I'm here to support improving your work with honest feedback! I'm a biracial Japanese-English translator who moved from Shizuoka, Japan to NYC as a teenager. I've been a professional JP-EN translator for 15 years (TV/film subtitles, pop culture, insurance, etc.). My multicultural background allows me to see the world from a unique Japanese and American perspective. Additionally, I'm a professional TV comedy writer (WGA/Writers Guild of America) with writing experience in half-hour comedies. I have experience proofreading, beta reading, and consulting. I've helped with cultural consulting for a Japanese-language TV episode. I come from a stand-up/sketch comedy background of 15+ years. I'm extremely organized, efficient, and easy-going with a can-do attitude! No job is too small for me, and I'd love to help you with your project.
