Hi! Want to help us out? That would be awesome. Aside from passing the tests, we also require that you actually have the time to scanlate. While we know this is obviously just a hobby, please don’t bother applying if you’re going to disappear without a word. We’re not strict with time, but we don’t like people who keep us waiting and then just go poof.

For aspiring editors/cleaners/typesetters, there are nice scanlation guides here. By the way, we also accept trainees, but patience and basic knowledge in Photoshop or other editing software is required.

When you’re done with your test, the contact form can be found at the bottom of this page. Good luck!

If for some reason the contact form isn’t working, please send the form to silvermoon33@live.com

Raw Provider

If you think you might have Raws of something that we might want to work on, please go ahead and ask. If you’re not the scanner but you have something to donate, please do — as long as your source doesn’t forbid it.

Note: If you’ve scanned more than enough for us and you seem trustworthy, we’ll start buying the books which need scanning and have them shipped to you.

Requirements: Scans should be of high-quality. 300dpi would do it.
Test: Please submit two sample scans (one in black and white, the other in color).
