Claire Nist – Editor

Hi, I'm Claire! I am skilled in assessing manuscripts and pitches and offering editorial feedback, and can give insight into what publishers are looking for in the market. I have experience in all age groups, from board book to young adult, but my main wheelhouse is middle grade and picture books. I also have a lot of experience in illustrated nonfiction, so I'm capable of helping with fact-checking, etc.

I'm a very collaborative editor, so just let me know what you're looking for and we'll build a plan! I love to talk about big picture ideas, and believe a good editor is just someone who asks the right questions. I would love to work with you--whether it's line edits or the start of an idea!
