Experience
Crafts edited: CrochetLanguages edited: English, Portuguese
Summary: As part of my tech editing services, I conduct a thorough copyedit of patterns and check that the wording, formatting, layout, visuals, and numbers make sense, are clear, consistent, and complete. I work on individual patterns, as well as collections, and specialise in patterns for garments, accessories, and home goods, but am open to other projects. I am also available to help with other aspects of design, such as creating charts and schematics, drafting style guides, reformatting, writing instructions from charts, and translation from English to Portuguese or vice versa.
Exclusions: I'm not very experienced with entrelac, intarsia, or tapestry crochet, so I don't offer tech editing for patterns using these techniques
Fee Structure: My rate is €25 per hour, charged in 15-minute increments. I offer a free final edit, as well as a 20% discount for new clients and referrals.
