Rebecca F – Editor

Experienced editor specializing in crafts and DIY.

Overview

I'm a developmental editor and book project manager specializing in knitting, DIY, and craft books. I've worked with beloved knitwear designers and inspiring artists to develop unique books that bring their work to life. I love books that inspire and empower readers to tap into their creativity.

As a caring and supportive editor, I'm invested in making your work the absolute best it can be. You're the expert. Nobody knows your craft better than you. I'm here to help you translate all that know-how into usable material. With thousands of readers making from books I've developed and edited, I offer an invaluable perspective on what works on the commercial market.

Let me be the reader's eyes and years throughout your editing process, providing the honest feedback you need. When the book launches, each reader will feel the book was written just for them, with a seamless user experience and impressive final payoff. I'm a stickler for excellent instructions and exacting explanations. We'll make sure the book is as accessible and useful as possible, while showcasing your unique voice and creative vision.
