If you're running short of time, you don’t have to worry about writing perfect instructions. 🤓 You just need to hire a professional tech editor that will help you succeed. 🥇😉

⚠️More info on my post.

Crochet tech editing costs can be substantial for a crochet designer like you. 😥

So, I wanted to share some tips that can help you save some money. 💰 😉

👉Save the post for later if you're not writing any instructions at the moment.

This festive season we’ve made sure to carry on our tradition of going into town to see the Christmas lights and decorations. 🎄We moved over one year ago, and the town where we live now has the biggest Santa in the WORLD! 🎅

There's a crochet group that gets together to do some big projects, and this year they made a Christmas tree with old pieces of crochet donated by locals. Check the photos. It's lovely! 🤩❤️

I’d love to know what traditions you’ll be carrying on or starting this year. Tell me all about it! 😀

Wishing you the healthiest and happiest of holidays ❤️🎄

If you're a perfectionist, like me, and a solopreneur, this one is for you. This is a mantra I had to learn early on once I started working as a freelancer.

Perfection doesn't exist and much less if you're doing everything yourself. So, when I find myself spending too much time on one task, I remember this saying and stop. ✋ It's fine as it is! Move on!

So, don't spend more time ⏳ than needed on one thing, and don't beat yourself up if it's not perfect.

If you're working full-time and crochet design is your side hustle, you probably don't have much time available. Use it the best way you can. And remember that when it comes to pattern writing, the tech editor will check everything. So you have a backup. 🤝

Keep going, and do the best you can without worrying about perfection. 💪

A PROFESSIONAL EDITOR WILL NEVER OVERRIDE YOUR VOICE.
You know those people who wear makeup but doesn't seem like they are wearing any? That's how a good editing job should look like: invisible. 👻

Your pattern should reflect your voice, your style, your choices. A tech editor will only help you see the mistakes you've missed and give suggestions of improvement, which you can accept your not. The final call is always yours.

It's hard to see that we've made mistakes and missed things. 😒 I know that very well. And sometimes it might feel like the tech editor is trying to impose their opinion on you. But you don't have to feel that way.

As a tech editor, I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I didn't tell you what's wrong. And I won't hold back because I want you to be successful. I want your pattern to be the best of the best, the cream of the crop. 🥇But I always do so with respect and consideration and never to minimise you or your work.

I'm on your side! And you can count on me to fulfill your dreams and aspirations.
💪

I came across a post on the Facebook group Hooked on Crochet where a lady described a terrible experience she had with a pattern of a Gonk.

She's been crocheting for 60 years (so, not a novice), and she says she had to concentrate on every single stitch and use her maths skills to make everything work.

What if this lady was talking about one of your patterns?

You may think, ‘No! This would never happen to me. My patterns aren't full of mistakes, and they are very well written.’

Are you sure?

It's very easy to miss our mistakes because we're very familiar with our writing. We know what's supposed to be there, and our brains fill in the gaps. And besides this, we don't know what we don't know. You might be making a mistake without realising.

If you want to avoid bad reviews and only receive praise about your patterns, it's time to hire a tech editor.

A tech editor is your safety net against errors and distractions. And you'll receive useful suggestions as well that will take your pattern from OK to top-notch.

Do you feel defeated and frustrated when you have to write romance copy and think, ‘I can't do this!’ 😩

Do you look at copy from other crochet patterns and wonder how it's so easy for other people to write engaging and persuasive texts? 😞

Well, I can tell you right away that YOU can do it and that, in time, it will become easy for you as well. 💪😉

Have a look at my 5 tips. It's all about creating a connection 🤝 with the reader and putting yourself in their shoes.

PS: Do you need extra help with writing romance copy? ✍️ Feel free to contact me via DM so we can have a chat. 📩

When you have your own business, you need to keep motivating yourself. And that's hard and tiring. And it's easier to just give in and say, ‘I can't do it!’ 😩

But you need to keep going. Even if you're tired. Even if you just want to give up. Success might just be around the corner, and you don't want to miss it. Because the taste of success is fantastic! It's thrilling! 🤩

And you're almost there! 🥂😉

I want to build a partnership with my clients. I want to be their safety net. And that requires trust. So that's why I'm telling you upfront what I can and can't do for you.

You often think about how satisfying it would be if you could be solely dedicated to designing crochet patterns. 😍

But if you want to turn your side hustle into a full-time job, you need to have enough sales to support you and your business. 💲

And how do you achieve that? By selling high-quality, profitable patterns that people love and recommend. 💙📣

And that’s where I come in.

You know your creations inside out. You know how to make the items, so it’s normal to make a mistake here and there when you’re writing the instructions. Or you might accidentally skip a step. It’s very hard to detect our own mistakes.

But your clients expect a perfect product. 🌟So we need to give them something as close to perfection as we can.

How do we do that?

I’ll check every section of your pattern in great detail, 👀 recording all that needs to be corrected. On top of that, I’ll put my editor and proofreader hat on 🤓 and make useful suggestions that can take your pattern from OK to top-notch.

Worried about ending up with a pattern that doesn’t reflect your voice and preferences? No need. You always have control over what proposed changes are accepted or rejected. ✅❌

In the end, you’ll feel reassured and confident that you are publishing the best pattern possible and that you’re not wasting an opportunity. 💪 And your clients will love you for making it easy for them to have fun while crocheting your creation.

Don’t let your efforts go to waste. Those pattern instructions you’re working on right now might just need a few corrections to be a success.
