Hi,
A couple of weeks ago I applied to become an editor and passed the editor test, I was then asked for my WeChat/Skype/QQ/Discord number in order to further discuss the Editorial Services Agreement. I got a hello on Skype and then nothing else, I've sent a few messages back on Skype and an email but still heard nothing. I'm still looking forward to getting started, I'd just like to know when that will be as the Skype message was over a week ago. Any help with sorting this out would be much appreciated :) .
Thanks :D

    The pay is $5 per chapter for the first 15 chapter that month. Then it goes up $1 for the next tier that month if you edit past 15 chapters, up to.. something like 7/8 dollars per chapter for that month. Idk, i'm fairly slow myself, so I'm stuck with the $5 per chapter.

    And no, you don't need to know Chinese. That's the translator's job.

        Nou Is it ok that I can only mainly help with grammar and not punctuations? i'm not great with punctuations but I think grammar is more important anyway. Some of these stories like Martial Arts master are great but lack an editor to really help the sentence structure and flow.

            SirLobo93 There's a test,if u pass u are editor. This is not you ask to be an editor and you get the position so just apply and take the test if you are interested.

                Lonelytree Yeah sent a email saying I wanna be an editor hours ago and haven't heard back so I assumed that was unmanned but I just saw join us at the top of the site (literally kept over looking it since I never thought of joining and it became a habit soon after) so I'm going to test that out.

                Thanks for the replies guy(s)/girl(s)

                    SirLobo93 Uh... if you sent it hours ago... give it more time. Like a week or two. Unless the stars and planets aligned, I think you'll have to wait until it's at least their working hour (their time zone). Do remember that for every paperwork-related things in life, there's always a process. Process takes time. Give it a few days, if you haven't hear anything back from them after that, go ahead and email them again. Maybe they might've just missed you (highly unlikely). Or maybe they're just "experiencing higher than normal" applicants, so they just haven't processed you through yet. Or maybe QI feels like maybe we, as editors, are just taking too much of their money so they wanted to stop hiring people. Whatever the reason is, give it a few days. If it happens overnight, great! if not, give it time.

                      I discovered Qidian couple of weeks ago and find it really cool .

                      Can someone elaborate a little about what is the role of an editor ? I don't want to take a test just to figure that out :)

                      Actually I offered my service to translate things in French, so I have a pretty good idea of what you mean about translator but about editor I can't see what are their purpose ?

                      thanks for your reply (if any :))

                        Stressless They mainly make correction related to grammer like puntuations, sentence error, tense and silly typos.
