Claire Dunn – Editor

With 25 years of non-fiction editing experience, including in-house roles at HarperCollins and Bloomsbury, I pride myself on being able to add an editorial polish while always retaining and respecting your voice as the author. In the words of previous customers:

"She brought sharp eyes, smart edits, and a clear respect for the voice and tone of my book. This was a thoughtful, collaborative process that made the final product stronger without losing what made it personal. She never once tried to overstep or rewrite the story into something it wasn’t."

"What truly set Claire apart was the personal connection she built, not just with me, but with my book. Every suggestion felt intentional, respectful, and elevating, always enhancing the emotional tone without ever compromising my voice."

I specialize in health (and in particular women's health, having spent several years working at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists), wellness, self-help, relationships, and parenting. My expertise in parenting stems from my time at Parent Zone, a social enterprise supporting digital family life and children's online safety via partnerships with the likes of Google, Facebook, and government bodies (plus my own experience as the parent of a seven-year-old).

In addition, I have significant expertise in editing AI-assisted content, and I am well-versed in spotting and amending common AI "tells." My skills in this area have been noted by authors: for example, "She gave me confidence that the AI manuscript would be fully humanized" and "her keen eye for detail—from ensuring clarity to spotting subtle AI tells—has elevated my work significantly."

I'm a fast, detail-oriented worker and would be happy to adapt my ways of working to whatever suits you best. I always communicate clearly throughout the editing process, and I build in opportunities for early review and feedback to ensure my work aligns with your expectations.

I would love to use my copy editing and proofreading skills to help your work shine.
