A few pieces of News
Posted By Kathleen David 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
Yay, glad to hear about the gainful employment!!
Congrats! Are associates difficult to edit?

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.
