Wanted: Native Japanese Editor for Christian Regency Romantic Suspense Novels (AI-Translated)

Hello everyone!

I’ve translated my Christian Regency Romantic Suspense novels into Japanese using ScribeShadow AI and am looking for a native Japanese speaker to edit and polish the text for professional ebook and paperback release on PublishDrive.

What the job involves:

  • Proofreading and editing the Japanese manuscript to make it natural, fluent, and enjoyable for Japanese readers.

  • Smoothing out awkward phrasing from the AI translation, improving flow and readability, while keeping the original Christian themes, romance, suspense, and Regency feel intact.

  • Basic checks for consistency, honorifics, and overall publishing readiness.

The goal is a clean, high-quality Japanese version that feels authentic to native readers.

Ideal candidate:

  • Native Japanese speaker with strong Japanese writing/editing skills.

  • Experience editing fiction (any genre is welcome — romance, historical, or suspense is a plus but not required).

  • Comfortable working with AI-translated text (previous post-editing experience is helpful but not mandatory).

  • Reliable with Microsoft Word or similar, and able to deliver files.

  • I will be doing the ebook and print book interior formatting, but would appreciate light checks to make sure the print interior looks fine.

This is a paid freelance project. When replying, please include:

  • Your rate (per 1,000 Japanese characters or per book)

  • A bit about your relevant experience

  • Rough turnaround time for a full novel

I’m happy to send a sample chapter so you can see the quality of the AI translation and decide if it’s a good fit.

If you’re interested, reply here or message me directly.

Thanks!

Camy
