My name is Taylor Drew (she/they) and I am a Canadian N1 certified Japanese to English translator with experience in manga, games, children's books, and tourism based in Tokyo. I have experience at various levels of the creative translation process including as main translator and quality assurance specialist, as well as the marketing and planning side of projects as translator, consultant, and researcher.
My translation expertise also extends to nonfiction applications. I have collaborated with various publishers to translate interviews of creative industry specialists and marketing snippets. I also work translating text for hotels and other tourism services to ensure overseas visitors to Japan have easy access to the information they need.
I also occasionally offer assistance to Japanese publishers in the writing and proofreading of English language learning materials for high school students and English learners studying for Japan's standardized English proficiency test, EIKEN.
