My mission is to empower aspiring authors to write their first book with confidence, clarity, and faith.

Guided by Psalm 119:105, we help individuals own their stories, find their voice, and boldly walk the path God has set before them—turning purpose into pages that inspire the world.

How Faith, Purpose, and a Pen Started It All

The Journey Behind Write Your Way

The Reverend Dr. DeShaun Williams is an international best-selling author, inspirational speaker, mental health advocate, and ordained minister with a heart for helping others rise into their God-given calling. As the founder of Write Your Way, LLC, a Christian faith-based company, Dr. Williams equips aspiring authors—especially first-time writers—with the support and structure they need to write with purpose, publish with confidence, and walk boldly in their divine assignment.

Rooted in the promise of Psalm 119:105 — “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path” — Dr. Williams empowers others to embrace their unique voice, share their story with conviction, and follow the path God has set before them with clarity and unwavering faith.

Holding a Doctor of Divinity and certifications in both coaching and critical thinking, Dr. Williams bridges the sacred and the strategic—offering spiritual wisdom alongside practical tools. His work is not just about books; it’s about breakthrough. His mission is to guide others from hesitation to action, from blank pages to published work, and from self-doubt to bold storytelling that transforms lives.

Beyond his literary and ministerial work, Dr. Williams is a passionate advocate for mental health and suicide prevention through the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), and an active member of the NAACP, championing justice, equity, and healing in communities across the country.

My values

What Guides Everything I Do

At Write Your Way, I believe writing isn’t just about words—it’s about walking in purpose, standing in truth, and honoring the calling on your life. Our values reflect the heart behind every story we help bring to life.

Faith-Led Purpose

We are rooted in Christian principles and guided by Psalm 119:105. Our work is a ministry, and we believe God uses writing to light the path for both the writer and the reader.

Authentic Storytelling

Every voice matters. We help our clients write with honesty, boldness, and heart—encouraging stories that reflect who they truly are and who they are becoming.

Guided Mentorship

We don’t just offer services—we walk alongside you. With coaching, spiritual encouragement, and practical tools, we help you move from idea to impact with clarity and confidence.

What is Write Your Way?

Write Your Way, LLC is a coaching and consulting company dedicated to guiding aspiring authors on their writing journey. Inspired by Psalm 119:105 and Proverbs 19:21, our mission is to be a light for authors as they navigate the path to publication, ensuring their stories are told with purpose and clarity.

What is Lightkeeper Review?

Lightkeeper Review is a manuscript feedback experience designed for writers of realistic fiction. I review your first 25 pages or 3 chapters (whichever comes first) and provide thoughtful, faith-rooted feedback on structure, voice, message, clarity, and emotional impact. This is not editing — it is a deep, story-centered refinement that helps you move forward with confidence.

Who is this review for?

This review is for any writer working on a realistic fiction manuscript — whether it is your first book or your fifth. If you are looking for honest, faith-rooted feedback that strengthens your story without compromising your voice, this is for you.

How much does it cost?

The manuscript review is $397. You can also add a 1-on-1 follow-up call for $75 if you would like to walk through your feedback in real time.

Will you edit or rewrite my pages?

No. This is not a copyediting or rewriting service. I will provide detailed notes and guidance to help you improve your manuscript, but you will make the revisions. My goal is to support your voice, not replace it.

Is this only for Christian authors?

Not at all. While my work is faith-rooted, Lightkeeper Review is open to all writers who are looking for clear, honest, and purpose-driven support in their storytelling.

What genres do you accept?

I specialize in realistic fiction — stories grounded in emotional truth, character-driven plots, and meaningful relationships. If your story explores themes of real life, growth, and transformation, it’s welcome here.

What makes you different from other author coaching services?

Our approach is faith-centered, drawing inspiration from scripture to guide and uplift authors. We believe in the power of storytelling as a divine purpose and aim to align your writing with your personal and spiritual growth.
