    Hello @SlimIcee,

    Firstly I'd like to ask if you're still recruiting for editors? And if so, how flexible would you say your hours are? (Finals are right after Thanksgiving.)

    Also, are the stories you'll be translating a specific genre or will there be a variety?

    Thank you.

    I tried to take the test but I couldn't even start answering the questions...

    Can someone tell me how to do this?

    "...write comments or use edit-suggest mode. When done, email a share link for your copy to Slimicee (email at end of doc). Make sure you link a copy with EDITING ACCESS so that we can actually see your edits/suggestions."

    How do I do the edit-suggest mode using Word and then allow editing access to others?

    Suggestion mode is an option in google docs. You should make a copy of the document rather than download it as a word doc. If you look at the top right the doc you should see an option titled Editing, with a little pencil next to it. Click on that and you'll see a drop-down menu, from where you can switch over to suggestion mode.

    Yes, we are still recruiting editors! The novels are mostly of the action and fantasy genres. You simply tell us how many chapters you think you can work on per week, and we'll assign you to a novel that fits that schedule.

    Hello! I just finished the test and sent you an email. I'm currently a student and I'm wondering if, in case I was hired, would there be a flexible schedule or deadline during exams or finals. Thank you!

    Btw, even if I would not get in, I'd like to thank you for doing this- translating web novels and paying for the editors.

    Yes. If you're interested, DM Whitesamurai#3996 on Discord. That's the easiest way to get in touch with our editing department.
