Why publishing works — and why now
Magazines already have an audience.
You don’t have to build one first.
When your design is published, you’re instantly put in front of thousands of buyers — without a following, without ads, and without waiting years to build an audience. Your name in print. Your design discovered. People coming to you.
I’ve had 70+ designs published in Vogue Knitting, I Like Crochet, Interweave Crochet, and more. I’m going to show you exactly how it works — so you can get your first design submitted this week.
My first two published designs paid for a month of daycare. And that came from one accepted design at a time.
That’s when I realized — this isn’t just a hobby. One accepted design can actually make a difference.
For you, that might be groceries, a bill that’s been sitting in the back of your mind, or just finally proving to yourself that this skill you’ve built actually has value.
“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?
Getting published is one of the fastest ways to stop feeling invisible and start building the credibility that makes everything else easier — and if you’ve been sitting on your designs, this is your moment to actually do something with them.
“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 isn’t 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.
Your designs already have value.
Publishing is one of the simplest ways to turn a finished design into real income.
Why this matters beyond the paycheck
One publication credit moves your whole pattern business forward.
When you’re a published designer, everything else you create carries more weight. Buyers who find your patterns on Ravelry or in your shop see “published in Vogue Knitting” and trust you before they’ve read a single row of instructions. 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 keeps working for you long after the issue hits newsstands.
That’s not just extra money — it’s a bill covered, a little breathing room, or proof that this can actually work.
Hi, I’m Amanda Saladin
I’ve already done this 70+ times.
Now I’ll show you exactly how it’s done.
I started submitting to magazines before I had a following, before I had industry connections, and before I had any idea how the process worked. My first three submissions were accepted in a row.
I started submitting because I needed the income — my first two acceptances paid for a month of daycare. I built this course from everything I learned doing this the hard way.
I’ve since been accepted across nearly every major crochet and knitting publication — and I’ve learned what I wish I’d known from the start. What makes a proposal get taken seriously. What kills a submission before it’s even read. How to evaluate a contract, negotiate your rate, and build a relationship with editors that leads to more opportunities.
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.
Editors are filling issues right now.
Designs are being accepted right now.
The only difference is whether yours is one of them.

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. You’ll have a submission plan ready to act on this 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 walk away with a specific list of places to submit — and a system to check them so you never miss a call 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 have a proposal ready to send — not a guess, not a maybe. A real submission that looks professional.
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 have a clear response ready for your first yes — and you’ll handle it like someone who’s done this before.
Contracts, Rights, and Getting Paid What Your Work Is Worth
This is where most designers leave money — and rights — on the table. I break contracts down in plain English so you can evaluate every deal clearly, know what’s negotiable, and make informed decisions I wish I’d made earlier in my own career.
- 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 walk away knowing exactly what you’re signing — and what to push back on — so you never leave money or rights on the table again.

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 a large following or portfolio to get accepted?
No. I got my first three acceptances in a row before I had a following or any published work. What matters is knowing the process — how to find the right calls, submit a professional proposal, and put your best work forward. That’s exactly what this course teaches.
Will I own the rights to my design after publication?
It depends on the publication — and this is one of the most important things I cover in the course. Some publications return rights after a period of time; others don’t. I’ll show you exactly what to look for in a contract and how to evaluate whether a publication is worth submitting to, so you can make informed decisions I wish I’d made earlier in my own career.
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. The designers who build a consistent record of acceptances are simply the ones who keep submitting.
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 are ready to submit their first design within a week of starting.
Your name in print. Your design getting paid.
Let’s make that happen.
There are submission calls open right now. Your name could be in the next issue. Every week you wait is another chance to get published, get paid, and build the credibility that makes your whole pattern business stronger — and most people never take advantage of it.
