Who is your course instructor?
Ray Slater Berry is a published fiction author and experienced content writer. With more than ten years in the content industry, and having founded his own content agency, Ray knows a thing or two about writing.
While studying at Falmouth University Ray identified his dyslexia. While many told him he should pursue something else because of his dyslexia, he pressed on with his passion for storytelling.
In 2021, Ray started his own content agency: dslx—the name was inspired by dyslexia—and ever since he's been proving people wrong and showing them what dyslexic and minority writers can do.
Today, Ray is a published fiction author, with a psychological thriller: Golden Boy. He works with SaaS brands across the world via dslx, and is walking proof that your writing can take you wherever you want to go. And, if you don't know which direction that is yet, you'll find out on this course.
