Hi!

Necromancy Scans is a new group that translates light novels from Japanese to English. At the moment we are working on the Record of Lodoss War series but we may pick up other series in the future.

Honestly, right now it's just me, the raw provider, translator, etc. The first volume is mostly translated, so I'm looking for help with the other jobs.

Website: Necromancy Scans

Positions:

Editor: (position filled!)
For each volume of our current project, we have about 4-5 pages of images with text that need editing. There should be little to no redrawing needed - most of the text is in nice, rectangular boxes, though there is a map that might be more difficult. At the current rate, it takes me a few months to translate a single volume, so this is a relatively light commitment.

Proofreader: (we could always use more help with this)
I'd like someone to look over the translations to fix the typos and make sure the English flows well. Obviously, for this position a good command of written English is ideal.

Can I apply as proofreader? I am an absolute newbie though. But I really want to try proofreading.

Hello,

Can I still apply for editor/proofreader? 🙂 Although, its been awhile since I've edited anything, so I think I might be back to a newbie level, but I still want to try and help out. 😢

Yes! I will PM you and if you are still interested I can send you a chapter or two to work on.

Yes to you too. I will PM you as well with more details. Any help is much appreciated.

You both have good timing - I just finished translating the last chapter of book 1, so only the afterword remains.
