Freelance Comics Editor/Proofreader – $23 an hour
We are Honeytech – a fast-growing product company behind one of the leading adult comics platforms in the Asian art style. In just a few years, we’ve grown to 15+ million users and built a world-class product.
We’re not a startup finding its footing. We’re a team that moves fast, builds boldly, and is already #1 in our niche. And we’re just getting started. Now we are looking for a native English-speaking freelance Comics Editor/Proofreader to join our content team.
This isn’t a red-pen-and-grammar job. We need someone who can feel the rhythm of a scene, hear when a line of dialogue falls flat, and know the difference between a character who sounds real and one who sounds like they were translated.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Proofreading and editing scripts written by non-native English speakers – improving clarity, tone, grammar, syntax, dialogue flow, character voice, and narrative consistency.
- Reviewing finished artwork in Figma – proofreading text as it appears on panels.
- Editing platform content – blog posts, title descriptions, and other English-language copy.
- Collaborating directly with scriptwriters and designers, giving feedback where it counts.
You’re a Great Fit If You:
- Are native English speaker – this is a must.
- Have 2+ years of experience in proofreading, editing, or a related role.
- Have a natural feel for dialogue, slang, and conversational writing.
- Can juggle multiple titles independently.
- Meet deadlines reliably and adapt when release schedules shift.
- Are comfortable working with adult content.
- Know your way around Google Docs, Word, and ideally Figma.
- Have a thing for pop culture, storytelling, comics, manga, or webtoons.
Bonus points for:
- Background in scriptwriting, film, theatre, or journalism.
- Degree in English, English Literature, Journalism, Film, or Theatre Studies.
- Prior experience with comics, manga, or webtoon content specifically.
Our Hiring Process:
- Pre-screen call with recruiter.
- Test Task.
- Interview with the Proofreading Lead based on the result of your Test task.
Perks & Conditions:
- Freelance format with a stable, ongoing collaboration.
- Fully remote — work from anywhere.
- Rate: $23/working hour.
- Flexible schedule with overlap during Ukrainian working hours (Kyiv time).
If you love stories, have strong opinions about dialogue, and aren’t afraid of content that pushes boundaries – hit apply!
