Matthew Sharpe – Editor

Greetings, fellow writer. As well as being an editor and writing coach, I'm a published author and former Ivy League creative writing prof.

I work on both full-length books and shorter projects. Many writers I've worked with have been published by traditional presses—including a few bestsellers—and others have self-published or hybrid-published. Because I'm a working writer myself, I know the writing process from the inside out. My longstanding vocation as an author allows me to understand the technical and psychological challenges of writing a book, and to help other writers surmount them and produce the best work they are capable of. My goal is always to support and enhance the vision and singular voice of the writers I work with.

I have experience helping people with literary fiction, thrillers, speculative/science fiction, children's literature, memoirs and family histories, business books on leadership/management and branding, and self-help and prescriptive books. I'm always looking to expand the kinds of projects I do, so if the genre you're working in does not appear in the preceding list, please contact me anyway and let's discuss.

Note about AI: If you have used AI in any way in the writing of your manuscript, please mention that in the request you send me. I am unlikely to edit a text that has been generated by AI, but some other uses of AI are okay with me. Thank you.
