Hi! I'm Molly Lee

& I translate things!

I'm a freelance Japanese to English translator, localization producer and consultant, powered by a passion for Japanese media and culture.

My work is centered around the tenets of creativity, voice, tone, and flow!

“Your work is so clean and writerly; it's a dream to work with! I wanted to especially compliment your strong characterization for the cast and how well you retain the florid, emotional voice in which the book is written.”
