IS this you?
A seasoned and experienced knitter. You know the craft—really well—and you find errors all the time in patterns you work from.
You've heard of technical editing and have thought it would be a great part-time job you could do from home.
But you aren't sure what exactly to actually do to conduct a great edit for a designer or publisher. You don't know what you don't know.
So you start to research.
You watch YouTube videos and read books. You think you know what is expected, and so you try to convince designers to hire you. Or maybe you just think about it and wonder how to begin. Because the job really does fit you and your skills. You're not alone.
Some people just start editing, and it backfires because they don't know what to look for, what are the best practices in technical editing, and how to best care for the client-editor relationship. Mistakes are overlooked, the designer gets frustrated, and the editor feels like an imposter. They might learn from their mistakes. They might take some classes that teach them some things, but not others. With a lot of time and a lot of patience, this path can totally work.
But this trial and error takes its toll. And there has to be a better and faster way, right?
Maybe you are saying to yourself:
I don’t want to mess up someone’s design.
What’s the going rate for this?
How can I be sure I’m doing this the right way?
I’m a self-taught knitter, but I’m not sure this can be self-taught.
I need a real process—like step-by-step.
I’d love something part-time that’s actually legitimate and fits around my life.
I’m fine doing the editing—I just freeze on the business side.
