Carly Leeson

Hello! I'm a localization line editor and proofreader who specializes in Japanese and Korean novels, manga, and manhwa. My editing portfolio consists of over eighty published volumes across the spectrum of genres.

As a line editor, I work with prose to make it engaging, grammatical, and accessible to English-language readers, all while maintaining the author's voice and intent. Proofreading allows me to turn a detailed eye to a volume and make sure it is error-free, consistent, and in compliance with style guides.

On the more technical side of things, I am well-versed in Chicago Style and have worked extensively with in-house style guides. I have experience editing and formatting digital epubs, as well as checking over print proofs.

Please see the navigation links above for my portfolio. Thanks so much for stopping by!
