“Amanda’s course opened up a world I thought previously inaccessible to me until I had many years of experience. Her clear and concise explanations take you step by step through the entire process of becoming a published designer — from how and where to find submission calls, right through to negotiating contracts. This is everything you need to know. Within days of watching her videos I had submitted several designs to different publications — something I don’t think I could have done without her info giving me the confidence to know what I’m doing. I can’t recommend this course highly enough for anyone looking to have their designs published!”
Rachel landed a $450 acceptance at a major crochet publication within weeks of completing the course
Michelle submitted 6 designs to 2 different publications — “I’m not sure where I would ever have found out how to do this on my own”
You love designing. But getting published feels like a locked door.
You’ve put real time and love into your designs. You follow published designers on Instagram and think — my work is just as good as that. So why does getting published feel so out of reach?
“I don’t even know where to find submission calls.”
You know magazines exist and designers somehow get in them, but how? You’ve Googled it and found almost nothing useful — just scattered forum posts from years ago.
→ I’ll show you exactly where submission calls are posted — and how to never miss one again.
“What if my designs aren’t good enough to be published?”
You look at published designers and assume they have something you don’t — years of experience, industry connections, a certain professional polish. So you hold back.
→ Publication isn’t a talent competition. You’ll follow the same proposal structure I’ve used across 70+ acceptances.
“I wouldn’t know what to put in a submission, or how to make it look professional.”
Even if you found a submission call tomorrow, you’d have no idea what editors actually want to see. A sketch? A swatch? A finished sample? In what format?
→ You’ll know exactly what to send — and in what format — before you ever hit submit.
“What if I get accepted — then what? Contracts terrify me.”
The acceptance email arrives and suddenly you’re dealing with legal language, yarn support requests, and fee negotiations. One wrong move feels like it could damage a relationship before it even starts.
→ You’ll know how to handle your first yes like a professional — not a beginner who got lucky.
Here’s what nobody tells you: Getting published in craft magazines is not about being the most talented designer in the room. It’s about knowing the process — and the process is completely learnable. I’ve been through it over 70 times, and I built this course so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Why this matters beyond the paycheck
One acceptance moves your whole business forward.
When you’re a published designer, your patterns carry more weight. Your name has more authority. Buyers who find your work on Ravelry or Etsy see “published in Vogue Knitting” and trust you before they’ve read a word of your pattern description. Magazine credits open doors — to yarn company collaborations, bigger opportunities, and a reputation that compounds over time. This isn’t just a $150–$500 payday. It’s a credential that pays you forever.
Hi, I’m Amanda Saladin
I’ve already done this 70+ times.
Now I’ll show you exactly how it’s done.
I’ve been accepted across nearly every major crochet and knitting publication. I don’t guess what editors want — I’ve worked with them repeatedly, across multiple magazines, over many years.
I know what makes a proposal get taken seriously. I know what kills a submission before it’s even read. I know how to negotiate a fair rate and how to handle the whole process like a working professional.
I built this course so you get all of that knowledge without spending years figuring it out by trial and error like I did.
I’ve been published in:
And designed for:
Plus 360+ self-published patterns and 7+ years running a crochet design business.
There are submission calls open right now.
Editors are actively filling upcoming issues.
Every week you wait is another submission call you miss.

What’s Inside
Mastering Craft Magazine Submissions
Four focused modules that take you from “I wouldn’t even know where to start” to submitting real proposals with confidence.
Start Here: Your First Submission Plan (This Week)
How the course is structured, what to expect at each stage, and how to set yourself up so your first submission is ready faster than you think.
You don’t need months to figure this out. Most designers in this course are ready to submit within a week.
Never Wonder “Where Do I Even Submit?” Again
This is the #1 thing designers struggle with — and it’s far simpler than you think once you know where to look. Every source I’ve used across 70+ acceptances, including ones most designers never think to check.
- Lesson 1: Ravelry Groups — the hidden goldmine most designers overlook entirely
- Lesson 2: Publisher Websites — exactly what to look for and how to never miss a call
- Lesson 3: How to Generate Ideas that align with what magazines are actively seeking
You’ll know where the door is — and you’ll never feel locked out of this industry again.
The Exact Proposal Format That Gets Taken Seriously by Editors
Your proposal is your first impression — and I’ll show you exactly what editors want to see so yours stands out and gets a real look, not a quick pass.
- Lesson 1: Sketching 101 — communicate your vision clearly without being an artist
- Lesson 2: Swatching 101 — present your design in its most compelling light
You’ll send that first submission feeling prepared and professional — not like you’re guessing.
How to Handle Your First “Yes” Like a Professional
Getting the acceptance is thrilling — but what happens next matters just as much. This module covers everything from your first response email to yarn support, so you look like you’ve done this before.
- Lesson 1: How to Respond to an Acceptance professionally and confidently
- Lesson 2: Yarn Support — what it is, how to request it, and how to manage it
You’ll feel like an equal at the table — not a beginner who got lucky.
How to Avoid Underpricing Yourself and Actually Get Paid Well
This is where most designers leave money on the table. I break contracts and pricing down in plain English so you can advocate for yourself and get paid what your work is actually worth.
- Lesson 1: Contract Basics — what to look for, what’s negotiable, and what’s standard
- Lesson 2: Pricing — how to know what your work is worth and ask for it without apology
- Next Steps — how to build on your first acceptance and keep the momentum going
You’ll stop undervaluing your work and start building a real income stream from your designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this course for crochet designers only?
No — while I come from a crochet background, the submission process is virtually identical for knitting designers. I’ve personally been published in Vogue Knitting and Knit Simple using the exact same approach taught in this course.
Do I need to be at a certain skill level or already have a large portfolio?
No. You don’t need dozens of designs or years of experience to start. What you need is the knowledge to find the right calls, pitch professionally, and put your best work forward — which is exactly what this course teaches.
What if I get rejected?
Rejection is part of every published designer’s story — including mine. The course covers how to handle it, how to learn from it, and why a rejection almost never reflects your talent. Consistency and volume are the real secrets to building a record of acceptances.
Is this information still current?
The core process — finding calls, writing proposals, responding to acceptances, negotiating contracts — has remained consistent across the industry. Where things have evolved, the course notes it clearly so you always have the full picture.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime access. The course is yours to revisit whenever you need it — whether that’s before your first submission or your fiftieth.
How soon can I get started?
Immediately. You get instant access to every module and lesson the moment your order is complete. Most students submit their first design within a week of starting.
Your designs deserve to be paid for.
Let’s make that happen.
There are submission calls open right now. Editors are actively looking for designs like yours. Every week you wait is a $150–$500 opportunity you didn’t submit to.
