Stuck for words? Get Sharpy.

Real name: Lesley Bruce Sharp. Yes, that's me you just scrolled down from. And Sharp Words is the internet home of all the phraseological things I do.

I'm a crafter of the written and recorded word. And, surprise-surprise, I'm also a big-time bookworm - a thirsty guzzler of entertaining and enlightening writing by other word nerds.

If you're looking for a time-served wordsmith to help you communicate concisely via the eyes and ears of your desired audience, it's fortuitous you found me...

award-winning wordsmith

Actually? Zero industry accolades here. But I once trounced all my classmates in a spelling test. Scooped the grand prize of half a packet of Polo Mints, complete with fluff from the depths of teacher's handbag. Bonus!

Although I can't dazzle you with a Kallax bookcase full of dust-gathering acrylic knick-knacks, I believe my words speak for themselves.

Oooeee, this is the stuff that can make one's ego run amok.
Fortunately, mine is mostly in check. Like King Charles on his hols at Balmoral.

"We’ve known Lesley for over 15 years. She has worked for us both in-house and freelance as a writer and proofreader.

"We use her services because she’s on the ball, articulate and reliable, and she’s also very accommodating when we need a fast turnaround."
