Helping people tell their stories
Agent

Editor
From commissioning to author coaching or full-scale developmental editing, plus project management.
Clare has ‘done’ books for ever, and it shows in the professional way she works with growing authors. But she also has buckets of self-awareness and respect. She has been a really positive influence not just on positioning me with the right publisher, but also what I write in the first place.

Clare is a brilliant combination of insight, inspiration and delivery. She is supportive and a source of great perspective, always able to improve an idea or project. Working alongside her is a joy.

I’ve been working with Clare in two ways, first as editor, and subsequently as my agent. She really is excellent in every respect. She has a thorough and impressive understanding of writing and her passion makes her outstanding to work with. Anyone is lucky to work with her.

I could not have worked with anyone better or more sympathetic to the process and her invaluable advice was always carefully considered, clearly presented and immensely helpful.
