Hi friends! It’s Marcy, and I’ve got an exciting episode for you today. I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how I landed a pattern book deal with a major publisherand got my amigurumi designs featured on the cover of an international crochet magazine. And guess what? My crochet pattern book officially launches TODAY, March 7, 2025! Saying that out loud still feels surreal.
In this episode, I take you back to where it all started—how one podcast episode sparked an idea, the cold emails I sent that changed everything, and the mindset shift that gave me the confidence to put myself out there. I’ll walk you through how I pitched my ideas, connected with editors, and ultimately saw my work in print.
If you’ve ever dreamed of submitting your patterns to a magazine or writing a book, this episode is for you! I’m breaking it all down and encouraging you to take that next step—because you never know what’s waiting on the other side of a simple email.
