Looking for two new editors
We are looking for two new editors who have a second look at the dialog of the comic strips before their publication. One of the new editors should check every new page of Gaia, the other new editor should check new Sandra and Woo strips as well as new Gaia pages, but is allowed to miss an update once in a while.
An editor should be able to tell me that “will be gone” is not the correct tense in a complicated sentence. These things will be discussed in an internal forum. Of course the new editors will get credit on the About page of our website. They will also get a little gift from their Amazon.com wishlist at the end of the year as a compensation for their effort.
If you are a native English speaker who is interested in the position, you can write a comment or send an e-mail to novil@gmx.de. Considering the small amount of new dialog each week, it’s really not much work to do. But nonetheless you should be reliable.
Update (25 January 2011): I will have a closer look at all the applications I received next weekend. Don’t expect a decision before that.
YES I’d love to MEMEMEMEMEMEME!!! =P
@ Zenman85:
I’m very excited. I love this comic and would love to take either job
I would LOVE to, but I’m probably a bad choice as English is my worst class 😀
I would be delighted to do either!
I’d really love to help you editing, although I’m not a native speaker of English. If you can’t find any native speakers, you could resort to me.
I speak native English, and I would love to help out.
I would love to do this. I am a native English speaker, and it was my best subject in school.
I am a native speaker, and I’m one of the editors on a gaming fan-magazine, GuildMag. Inside joke: My title on the staff is Elite Proofreader. http://www.guildmag.com/
I would love to do this! I know English forwards, backwards, and upside-down, I’m editor-in-chief of my school’s literary magazine, and I’m almost always online…somehow I don’t think you’ll be seeing any dearth of candidates, but I’d be more than willing to help out!
I would be an editor for you! It sounds like fun. I’m a native English speaker, and I’ve also been learning German for six years, if that helps any.
I’m a native speaker and I would love to help
I’m an American and we speak something pretty close to English. ^_^
Seriously, I think I’m reliable (reliable enough to come here and vote even on the days when S&W isn’t updated) and you already have at least one example of my work. I corrected your English (politely, I hope) on a previous strip.
The downside, if it matters, is that I don’t know any _other_ languages — except programming ones. I took Latin in school. It expanded my English vocabulary immensely. But nothing remains of Latin itself except “Vini, Vidi, Vici”.
I would be honoured to be an editor for the comic. I’m an english first language Aussie raised in a Librarian/High School English Teacher’s family so I’m quite finicky with grammer and tenses. Also, if any questions pop up I can just email the ‘English Teacher’ for the real deal.
A possible problem would be the local variation between English Speaking countries, though I don’t think that will make that much difference anyway.
I love your comic so it would be really, very cool. 🙂
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I’d be very much delighted to do it, except I don’t need the gifts 🙂
//I’m also a programmer 😀
Oh, gee, I would SO LIKE to apply, but I’m not a native speaker .–.” I’m brazilian…
I have plenty of English experience as I have an A in my GCSE’s for english and got an award for my creative writing.
I’d like to say I’m fairly dependable, but i would need details on when i would receive and edit drafts.
I really like your work, and frankly your drawing ability has made me green with envy and I love to see more about the character.
20 thumbs up to you!!
Update (25 January 2011): I will have a closer look at all the applications I received next weekend. Don’t expect a decision before that.
I’m reliable enough to check more than weekly, however 😐 horribly at every language.
I would be interested in becoming an editor.
I am Australian and studying English as one of my majors at University.
p.s LOVE THE COMIC
