Join Cross The Line

We're a small, passionate team bringing Chinese danmei stories to English readers. If you love these stories and have a sharp eye for language, we'd love to hear from you.

Open Position

Proofreader

Volunteer · Remote · Flexible Hours

Our proofreaders are the last line of defence before a chapter goes live. You'll work closely with translators to catch typos, awkward phrasing, inconsistent terminology, and anything that might pull a reader out of the story.

What we're looking for

  • Strong command of English grammar, punctuation, and style
  • Familiarity with Chinese danmei / BL fiction conventions and tropes
  • Ability to meet regular deadlines and communicate proactively
  • A keen eye for consistency in character names, honorifics, and terminology
  • Respectful, collaborative attitude — we're a small team and kindness matters

Nice to have

  • Reading knowledge of Chinese (Simplified or Traditional)
  • Prior experience proofreading or editing creative fiction
  • Active reader of danmei or other BL literature

We're readers first. Expect a collaborative, low-drama environment where feedback is kind and everyone's voice counts.
