A few pieces of News

Posted By on May 7, 2004

Negima is out. I saw the first volume in my local comic bookshop. It should be in bookstores shortly. Negima is by the same author who wrote “Love Hina”.

My husband and I work on adapting the japanese translation of the text. I have my first book credit on the title page. So far we have done 1-3 and are expecting the fourth translation shortly. Makes me feel proud. Next I have to finish some encyclopedia entries I own an editor and write up a couple of book proposals I have promised a couple of editors. Whilst (and at the same time) building Goblin armor and Vampire Detectives.

I am now an Associate Editor at Phobos Books. This is a start up publisher that is best known for anthologies. I am still going to freelance as an editor to keep my hand in Fantasy and Media tie-ins since Phobos

    Congrats on the new job! When you say you’re doing an adaptation do you mean that you (or David) are actually fluent in Japanese? I have a very, very basic understanding of spoken Japanese but the written language baffles me (three alphabets! eek!).

    I want to launch a Japanese-language version of my “Bear Town” project next year but the written translation for the Japanese site is the biggest stumbling block.
