Charles Chadwick CBE (born 1932) is an English novelist.
His father was Trevor Chadwick. [1] 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. [2] [3]
Chadwick retired from the civil service in 1992. He wrote several novels, all of which were originally rejected by publishers.
In 2004, Chadwick 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 covered the life of an ordinary middle-aged English man from his thirties into his sixties (tagline: "A written life, an unwritten life", as quoted from last page). The book was published in May 2005 by Faber & Faber in the UK and HarperCollins in the U.S.
He was appointed CBE ( Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in 1992 for services to the British Council whilst he was a British Council officer.
