About Sharpedge Creative
As a published author myself, I know only too well the perils of taking a book to print without the nurturing and support that only a good editor can provide. Without strong structural and detailed editorial review, it’s fair to say that I would never have mustered the courage to publish my book.
I published Invincible in 2016. It’s a young adult sci fi novel and I am currently working on a sequel. It’s not my purpose here to promote my book so I won’t post a link (although I cannot help but mention that it is available at Amazon and all major online bookstores!).
Following a long career as a senior executive in the business world, I founded Sharpedge Creative in 2019 to pursue my first love - words and writing. Our goal is to provide premium editing and writing services with a specialised focus on writing for clients of all shapes and sizes in the business world. We are also available to support fiction and non-fiction authors, particularly new and upcoming independent writers. As an author myself, and a beta-reader of my fellow authors’ manuscripts, I have yet to come across written work of any form that would not benefit from a serious review by a competent editor. With the exponential growth in self-publishing, the need for quality editorial support is greater than ever before. Sharpedge Creative aims to help meet this need.
Authors and business content writers alike often fail to invest enough time or money in the vital process of editing. This website contains information on what I do and how I do it, but you and your project will determine how we can best work together. Yes, you will need to invest time in the process - depending on the nature of your work - but I'm confident the financial outlay will surprise you in a good way.
More in the spirit of a traditional bio, let me add that I’m married with two daughters away at university and my wife and I recently moved from the city to a small country village where we do our best to maintain a low-impact, sustainable lifestyle. Apart from writing, my other passions are singing, painting and my beloved football team. Having finished most of the projects around the new house, I’m now turning my attentions to establishing my new business – Sharpedge Creative.
Sharpedge Creative can help you to make your message sing. If you'd like to join our growing list of delighted clients I look forward to hearing from you!
