“I have loved television my whole life, to the point that my parents had to cut our cable because they thought it was a hindrance to my education! Much to their dismay, I streamed everything illegally on my computer. I think they’re over it now that they can chalk it up to research for my future job. It was a joy to escape into the world of TV char...
“It was mostly luck and a little catfishing! I created an Instagram for a character that Mindy and BJ [Novak] had on Twitter. After a year or so of posting, Mindy reached out via DM asking who I was. After I graduated college, I became her assistant on multiple projects, and it was like getting a master’s degree in writing and producing. One day, M...
“I’m only at the start of my career, but I would sayNever Have I Ever is specifically special because it’s the kind of show I dreamed about as a teenager.

“My parents were British, so my main language was English, but I was aware from a very early age of the existence of other languages and different ways of seeing and expressing ourselves. We moved to the U.K. when I was 5, when I promptly forgot my other language, but later in school I discovered I had a natural aptitude for languages and that I en...

One is Sayaka Murata, whose first book in English, Convenience Store Woman, was a huge hit and is still popular today — a rare case of a translated novel crossing over to a more mainstream readership. We have since published two m...
“This really depends on the type of word or phrase and also the context. For example, the word ‘irasshaimase’ means, literally, ‘welcome,’ but it is called out by staff whenever a customer enters a commercial establishment such as a shop, restaurant, or hotel. We simply do not have an equivalent for this in English, since it is also a cultural prac...
Thanks to some seriously iron-clad NDAs, Pauleanna Reidcan’t tell you exactly whom she’s ghostwritten for. (Although she assures you that you’ve read or heard her words before.) However, she praises the learning process that comes with telling someone else’s story. “It’s best practice to pay attention to small nuances like variations of tone and br...
“One of the reasons I pursued ghostwriting is because it gives me the opportunity to have a seat at the table with powerful players. We’ve all seen and heard about the rise and fall of politicians, athletes, founders, and celebrities for reasons that include — but are not limited to — poor message delivery and the inability to navigate cultural, so...
