    My name’s Grayson, and I’m a Pittsburgh-based freelance writer, editor, and translator from the Chinese. I graduated from Emory University with a BA in Chinese and a minor in English and creative writing in 2017. I then went on to get my master’s in translation and interpreting at NYU in 2021. During my time in school, I fell in love with editing as a necessary step to creation, be the end product a translation or an original piece of work. There’s a joy to polishing a work until it’s perfect, and, often, a good editor is what makes the difference between a decent piece of writing and a great one. For the last five years, I’ve worked professionally as an editor of translations, first at CSOFT International and, later, at Bilibili Comics. I also work for several small literary presses as a copyeditor for fiction. In my own time, I publish my own writing on various online platforms and volunteer as a beta reader for fellow writers. My specialties are romance, horror, and speculative fiction. I guarantee accurate translations, superior linguistic quality, and commitment to deadlines. I’m looking forward to working with you!
