“When it comes to editing and revision, there’s no one I trust with my work more than DeShawn. Not only does she catch edits on a line level, she’s also able to zoom out to get a full picture of what the story is trying to convey and knows exactly how to inspire the writer to dive deeper. I trust my work in her hands because I’ve grown as a writer. She challenges me. I understand more about my characters and about myself because DeShawn doesn’t merely point out typing errors, she focuses on what will deeply impact a reader and what will leave them satisfied yet yearning for more. She cuts to the truth and that’s what every writer needs in an editor.”
