about

Hi, I'm DesRay!

With over 10 years of experience as a language practitioner, I provide editing & proofreading services for indie and self-publishing female, romance authors.

I am an avid romance reader who enjoys over 400 titles a year. I am absolutely passionate about books and have a special love for upcoming authors; especially of different marginalised communities. Nothing makes me happier than discovering and falling in love with new stories and characters written by women.

With the number of books I read, I’ve seen the need for affordable editing services for these specific authors. After working as an editor and proofreader for several companies, blogs and websites, I have decided to turn my attention to the media form that I love.

I proofread and edit different works of contemporary romantic fiction in a variety of subgenres and tropes. I use the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and other online resources for reference, unless directed otherwise.

I’m a meticulous editor that will read over your manuscript with a fine-tooth comb to find any typographical, grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors that may be present. I do not shy away from spicy content and absolutely love all forms of diversity. No bigots allowed over here!

I provide gentle, constructive and insightful feedback and suggestions to improve, not change your story or voice.

YOUR story and subject matter will be nurtured in a way that allows your natural writing style to shine.
