Lauren Scanlan, MBA

A lifelong writer and nerd, I’ve spent my professional career in the world of manga localization. I received my MBA in Localization Management from the Middlebury Institute for International Studies at Monterey, and from there I continued my localization career at both Kodansha Comics and Kodansha USA Publishing.

I specialize in the following:

  • Manga editorial and proofreading

  • Consulting for manga companies and/or departments

  • Prose editorial and proofreading

  • Creative consulting (including script and story doctoring)

  • Professional coaching for manga and comic professionals
