Jshoujo (the main website) is looking for:

- SUMMARY WRITERS

- PROOFREADERS

- NEWS REPORTERS (knowledge of Japanese required)

- ANIME REVIEWS WRITERS

- MAGAZINE SCANLATORS

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BE A:

SUMMARY WRITERS

You should be able to summarize a series in english. You should summarize SHORTLY the first or/and second chapter just to give the idea of the MAIN PLOT. I don't ask for a long summary. Something like this one:

Example from Hanayome Sama

Tamaki is a sixteen year old high school girl who was brought up by her mother. Due to a illness her mother died and according to her mother's last wish, she moves in with her mother's friend. Tamaki is shocked when she sees the huge mansion she will live in and the person in charge of her is none other than a rich boy named Shinga from the Ootori family, who is handsome and rude at the same time. even worse is when he claims that Tamaki is going to be his wife and steals her first kiss! How will their relationship develop, and how will Tamaki stand such an arrogant boy?

The serie I ask you to summarize are ALL scanlated in english so you don't need to know Japanese.

PROOFREADER

You should be able to proofread a summary I wrote. I write in english but since english is not my first language I need someone to check grammar and sentences to see if everything goes smoothly.

Example of a summary to proofread:

NANACO ROBIN

Helping her sister's boyfriend to stop his arranged marriage and letting them run away together, Nanaco thought she has done the right thing. But now the brother of her sister's boyfriend is nobody but her classmate and he is unhappy of her intrusion in the Hayami family affair. Things get worse when due to the financial bankrupt of the Hayami family caused by the failure of the wedding Nanaco has to take responsabily and host this boy at her house.

JAPANESE TRANSLATOR / NEWS REPORTER

You should be able to go to a japanese magazine's website and report in english the series published in that magazine and IF you can you could even translate the short summary that the website provides for a new serie. These summaries are always really short just to give the idea of the plot.

Here is an example

Betsucomi's website: here

In this page you can read the series which are being published in that number and a short summary of the new series.

SCANLATORS

If you buy any shoujo japanese magazine and want to share some scans (chapter's cover, a couple of pages) that would be great. I don't ask for the entire chapter. I'm not sharing chapters. Just a few pages to show a bit of a serie.
