In writing there are rules. Meet the creative force who knows when to bend them, if not break them.
Shaundale Rénā is an American 8x-multi-award-winning developmental editor, who holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems (CIS) from Grambling State University and a Certification in Technical Writing from the University of Texas at Arlington. She has trained under the Author Accelerator book coaching certification program with Jennie Nash and is also the New Releases columnist for Kiza Blacklit Magazine and a book reviewer for African American Literature Book Club.
No stranger to adventure, she enjoys reading and writing with an occasional dose of fine dining and travel. (I didn't say what kind of adventure.) Shaundale has edited books released under Adam's Media (a subsidiary of Simon and Schuster) and Lake Union Press (a subsidiary of Amazon Publishing), in addition to self-published titles and corporate projects in Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI). Her projects have garnered both national and international acclaim, and her clients can be found working regular jobs, featured in magazines and/or local news, on social media podcasts like Facebook's Red Table Talk, or even at the 2024 Paris Olympics!
A member of the illustrious Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Shaundale enjoys being part of a long list of highy successful, multi-faceted, influential women in business (like, Soror Madam Vice President Kamala Harris). Having been published and featured in various news-magazines and other articles, she is currently a multi-award-winning author of three published books and a contributing author for three additional publications. Shaundale weilds her proverbial "red pen" as a gifted writer and successful entrepreneur, who is affiliated with Professional Editors Network (PEN) and Black Editors & Proofreaders (BEP). A professional by day and an artist by night, she balances both worlds by watching all things Marvel and DC―hence the persona @StonyRhodes―and celebrates her first trilogy being voted the 2016 Crystal Awards Best Newcomer on Wattpad.com.
