#typesetters

Agnes Peterson - women in history (32/?)

San Francisco became a center for printing and publishing in the nineteenth century. While there was a great demand for printers, women were largely kept out of desirable typesetting positions in the 1850's and 1860's by giving them lower wages, fewer opportunities and an all-male union. In 1868, mrs Agnes Peterson and other trained female typesetters founded one of the first woman-owned printing business in San Francisco: Women's Co-Operative Printing Union, so they could create their own opportunities.

Hey everyone! @nite-baron​ has been translating Black Clover: Quartet Knights into English for us. However, their usual typesetter is really busy right now. This means that, currently, there are two chapters that are translated, but they can’t be uploaded until they are typeset.

If any of you can typeset any number of chapters - even 1- that would be a great help! Anyone interested in typesetting should contact @Nite-baron on twitter (their preferred contact method) or, if you don’t have twitter, through Tumblr’s messaging system.

If you want to help, but don’t know how to typeset or don’t have the software to do it, no worries! Nite-baron has made a tutorial (available here) detailing how to typeset with Medibang, which is a FREE application!

If you don’t have time to help, please reblog this so that we can signal boost this and reach somebody who can help out!

We’re recruiting again!

If you think you can help out at any of the listed positions, give us a holler either here, or at our Discord.

Cleaners need not have much experience, you can always learn around here, so if you’re interested, join our ranks!

Hello everybody~! Me and the legend/gamer himself @dvariak are forming a scanlation group that focuses on K-ON! Yuri! 

Our prime focus is Mitsu, but we plan to occasionally work on other pairings as well (yes, that could include YuiAzu for all you fans out there). 

We will not be doing:

Het. Straight off the bat, sorry guys. We just love yuri and the keions being gay for each other too much.

Anything extreme (off-the-grid fetishes), even if it’s yuri. We have limits.

However, we will be doing h-hentai!

We are looking for people of all scanlating talents, including: 

Raw Providers 

Translators

Typesetters, Cleaners, Editors in General

Quality Checkers 

-Raw Providers-

I’m currently the only active raw provider that, well, I know, but if anyone has any K-ON doujins you are willing to scan/digital doujins/knowledge of digital K-ON doujins, tell us about it.

-Translators-

Tell us about your skill level in Japanese (Chinese and Korean translators are welcomed, but we won’t have as much work for you to do).

We will give you a few pages to translate, and then your accuracy will be checked by Dvariak.

-Editors-

Tell me what program you use, how skilled you are with it, your knowledge of typesetting fonts, and if possible a “portfolio” of past edits.

Alternatively, if you don’t have a portfolio but you are confident in your ability to edit, we will give you a few pages to clean/typeset and judge your performance based on that. This may go for people with “portfolios” as well.

-Quality Checkers-

Tbh, just have a good eye. We’ll give you an already edited page with a few imperfections and we’ll count on you to spot them.

To apply, just DM/PM me or Dvariak on here, tell us what you’re applying for, and we’ll go from there.

If you make the cut, well send you an invite to the Scanlation discord where we can collaborate!

Don’t be afraid to get interviewed, we’re totally welcoming.
