Charles Chadwick (novelist)
Charles Chadwick CBE is an English novelist.
His father is Trevor Chadwick. Chadwick worked as a civil servant from the early 1970s. He held a position as a British Council officer in Nigeria in 1972, and worked in Kenya, Brazil, Canada, and Poland, where he was the Council's Director.
He retired from the civil service in 1992. He wrote several novels, all of which were originally rejected by publishers.
However, in 2004, he was offered a major Faber and Faber publishing deal for his novel It's All Right Now, which was written over a period of thirty years. In its initial edition, the book was 679 pages, and covers the life of an ordinary middle-aged English man from his thirties into his sixties. The book was published in May 2005 by Faber & Faber in the UK and HarperCollins in the U.S.
He was appointed CBE in 1992 for services to the British Council whilst he was a British Council officer.
