Editorial Standards

Moonbridge Press is committed to producing English-language editions that respect the original work while meeting the expectations of global English readers. Our editorial process emphasizes accuracy, consistency, and cultural fidelity.

Translation Approach

We work with professional translators fluent in modern Mandarin and English prose, with experience in long-form fiction and serialized narratives.

Our translation philosophy prioritizes:

  • Preservation of author voice and narrative tone

  • Cultural and contextual accuracy

  • Clear, fluent English prose

  • Minimal localization

When helpful, we include glossaries or light contextual notes rather than altering the original text.

Editorial Process

Each title published by Moonbridge Press undergoes a structured editorial process designed to ensure quality and consistency.

This includes:

  • Initial translation review for accuracy and voice

  • Editorial pass focused on clarity, tone, and readability

  • Consistency checks across terminology, names, and series-specific language

  • Series style guides for multi-volume works

Our goal is to deliver English editions that feel cohesive, intentional, and professionally produced.

Series Consistency

For multi-volume works, Moonbridge Press assigns dedicated editorial oversight to maintain:

  • Terminology consistency

  • Character voice continuity

  • Narrative tone alignment across volumes

We recognize that series reliability is essential for reader trust and long-term market success.

Cultural Integrity

Moonbridge Press does not rewrite or Westernize source material to fit perceived market trends. Cultural elements, honorifics, social structures, and genre-specific conventions are preserved wherever possible.

Editorial decisions are made with respect for the original context and in consultation with the licensed text.

Collaboration and Transparency

We work closely with rights holders, agents, and authorized partners throughout the editorial process. Communication is clear and transparent, particularly for works requiring platform review or approval.
