Edits Infused With an Autumnal Touch
Yes, it’s a big, scary step and I won’t pretend otherwise! But it’s also an essential one.
The good news is, you’ve already endured the blinking cursor, persevered through endless writing hours, and consumed the countless cups of coffee or tea (or wine) that come with it. You’ve completed the unparalleled task of writing an entire book (or close to!) — and I’m certainly not here to undo your hard work or change your vision.
Rather, I’ll help you rake up the distractions, polish each sentence, and let every word serve its purpose. Like a fall sky that comes to life as the sun dips below the horizon, your story will become impossible for your readers to turn their gaze away from.
Regardless of whether this is your first go at self-publishing or you’re as seasoned of a writer as they come, I’ll provide support, guidance, and encouragement every step of the way.
The time has come to put your work
in the hands of an experienced editor.

EDITING & AUTHOR REVIEW
Once the appropriate services have been discussed and your deposit has been received, I’ll spend the next 4-8+ weeks reviewing your manuscript, line by line and word-by-word. Edits are completed using Microsoft Word’s "Track Changes" and delivered to you via email along with a video walkthrough explaining my edits and feedback.
From there, it’s back in your hands for implementation over anywhere from 3 weeks to 2 months, depending on how quickly you work. Once you’ve made your way through it all, I provide a secondary and complimentary round of condensed follow-up edits to not only ensure the suggested edits have been effectively brought to life, but also bring you added peace of mind.

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.
