Overview
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, fitness, 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 the UK government (plus my own experience as the parent of a seven-year-old).
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.
