What is the difference between Technical Editing and Ghostwriting?
Technical Editing (sometimes called Tech Editing) is a comprehensive, extensive review of your quilt pattern to ensure it is as concise, accurate, and user-friendly as possible. I can offer a pair of fresh eyes on your pattern and support you in minimizing the risk of errors and making sure your pattern is ready for your customers. A well-written patterns make for happy customers and happy customers lead to more sales!
Ghostwriting is assistance on any part of the pattern writing process. Do you not have time? Are you not sure how to create the diagrams? Are you stuck on the wording? Are you not sure how to calculate fabric requirements? This is where we come in. We can do just a little part of the process or the full thing. We work with you and your needs, from start to finish. We also have additional services to assist you after the pattern is written as well.
