Karen Ho Wong
Knitting Technical Editor
Like writers who need editors to round out their stories, knitting pattern designers need technical editors to smooth out the lumps in their creations. My Sunset Way does that.
My job as tech editor is to help your creation shine. To produce a complete knitting pattern, it must be correct, clear, concise and consistent. I will look for the knots and straighten the kinks so your creation will be a joy to work on.
I am familiar with both British and American English.
My Tech Editing Process
-
Write to me via the CONTACT FORM to let me know you have a job.
-
You should receive an email response from me within 24 hours.
-
Send me your draft pattern, including charts, pictures and schematics. If you have a style guide, send that to me too. If you do not have a style guide, I can help you make one.
-
Our agreement will be via email.
-
As I am new to tech editing, I want to be as thorough as possible. I may consult you a few times during the next days as I go through your pattern as many times as it takes, until we are both satisfied.
-
I would be pleased to run through the final PDF before publication as well.
-
I would also appreciate a link to Ravelry and Instagram.
-
The job will conclude with payment (via PayPal) and a testimonial.
Please note that I am a new tech editor. As such, I am not confident enough in my skills yet to create grading, charting or schematics.
My rates
I charge a flat rate of S$60 for any pattern up to 3 pages and S$15 for each additional page. Complex patterns may be charged more. An official rate will be agreed upon before proceeding.
All amounts are in Singapore dollars (SGD).
