Guided by this newfound love, I embarked on a path that not only allowed me to indulge in my own creative passions, but also brought me immense joy as I assisted fellow writers in honing their craft.
From the Heart of One Writer/Editor to Another
Your words + my passions, fully aligned
Eilidh Locherty
Words have become my world — a big, expansive, endlessly inspiring one that runs wild with diverse characters, plot twists, heartbreak, hard-won victories, and everything in between.
While I love all seasons, autumn will always reign supreme. The creativity, connection, and warmth it fosters is what you’ll find channeled through each touchpoint of Chaptered Vine Studio.
After all, when I'm not editing or writing, you can find me curled up with a good book and a cup of tea, exploring the great outdoors, or baking something delectable.
Pronounced “AY-lee”, and yes, I know it's a little tricky to say at first. But once you get the hang of it, we'll be good friends chatting over coffee and swapping stories.
My journey began with a childhood love affair with books, a romance that seamlessly transformed into a passion for writing. However, as the pages of my life turned, I discovered an additional source of fulfillment in the sphere of editing.

“If writing is the seed, editing is the season — it's in the fall of revisions that the story truly blooms.”

Eilidh is absolutely amazing! Not only does she have a beautiful personality and made me comfortable when we first spoke, but she provided detailed feedback. Her response was quick, clear, precise, and incredibly helpful. She helped me edit some of my university papers for an English course and her edits - as well as her notes and advice - were insightful and helped me feel more confident about my final work.

Eilidh is an outstanding editor. She senses where the writer is going with the story and makes suggestions on how to improve copy without sacrificing voice. Her comments address both writing structure and story continuity, allowing the writer an objective lens through which to revise their work. She is very pleasant and agreeable, but straightforward in what she has to say. One gets the feeling she is on your team and wants to see your writing ready for readers.

Eilidh is the only editor I will work with. She is kind, attentive, and above all, brilliant. She is honest when it comes to giving me an outlook that I never saw coming, a friend when I need it, and she has an eye for making my story better than it was even in my own imagination.

Eilidh returned my manuscript to me this morning and it's clear that I have a thing or two to learn about commas! I was pretty confident that she wouldn't find any errors, as I had printed out my whole manuscript and gone over it with a fine tooth comb, but Eilidh managed to not only spot some spelling errors, but also where I had missed a full-stop from the end of a couple of sentences, not used a capital letter and put semicolons in the wrong place. She has turned my manuscript from an okay piece of work into something wonderful that I am proud of.

I needed someone to read over the rules of a new game I devised before it went on sale. As these could be complex to explain, it was important they made sense on the first reading to someone with no prior knowledge of the gameplay. Chaptered Vine Studio carefully checked the document for inconsistencies and ambiguities, so I can now sell the product knowing the rules are as clear as they can be.
