rates & turnaround times
I am currently taking on new tech editing clients for knitting. When you contact me, I will give you a rough estimate of how long your project will take, and we can establish the timeframe for the editing.
If you do not have a style sheet, I can help you set it up based upon your pattern writing style – this will help save time on edits in the future. The first time you work with me I offer a 25% discount so we can get to know each other!
Current turnaround is under 10 business days.
