    Hi all~

    Foxaholic is looking for editors and proofreaders for Japanese/Chinese novels! We have all sorts of novels on the site including isekai, GL, BL, romance, medical, etc.

    • Proofreaders: While native English speakers are preferred, as long as you have strong English skills, all are welcome to join! Proofreaders focus on grammar, spelling, and highlighting anything that looks weird.
    • Editors: Editors focus on wording and may need to reference the original text from time to time. Thus, it would be best for editors to know Japanese to edit Japanese novels, Chinese to edit Chinese novels. (If you are lacking in this department, you can always sign up as a proofreader instead~)

    For the full and more up to date list, please head to the Foxaholic discord's #recruitment channel.

    Unless stated otherwise by the translator, proofreaders and editors are volunteer positions by default.

    Translators [paid]: If you would like to become a Foxaholic translator, you can contact Fox23 (aka me) through NU, the group discord, or the "Join Us" page on Foxaholic.

    How to sign up: Head over to the Foxaholic Discord and we will get you all set up! (Link to join is on the Foxaholic site.)

    Have any questions, doubts, or concerns? Head over to discord and we will answer any and all questions you may have!

    Thanks for reading,

    Fox23 and the Foxaholic team

    Uh sorry for random post that has not much to do with topic but I had no idea how to solve the issue, your website keeps sending me to the wordpress is experiencing a critical error page every time I click a chapter link on your post for new updates.

    @fox23
    I'd like to give "I Just Wanted to White-Wash" a try as either a PR or editor and or both if necessary. How do I go about applying?

    Also, I'd like to make you aware that I have no formal experience. Although I did act as an editor for someone a few years back it was for a brief period of time. Would that be an issue?

    We accept anyone willing to spend their time to help Foxaholic!

    To apply, join the Foxaholic server, go to #get-your-roles to get the pr/editor role (which role you get is up to you), find the recruitment notice for "I Just Wanted to White-Wash" in #recruiting-editor-and-pr, and dm the translator that posted said notice.

    Thank you so much! :aww:
