Why Choose Me?

I’m a trained journalist with 20 years’ experience, writing and editing for national magazines including Red, ELLE, Easy Living and Waitrose Food.

 

I spent more than a decade as a chief sub-editor – that really pernickety person who spots typos and inconsistencies, writes headlines (I love writing headlines) and makes sure everything goes to press on time.

 

I’m now based on the border of London and Surrey and spend my time writing and editing for magazines, as well as copywriting for businesses large and small. I turn company blogs from blah to brilliant; conduct interviews that draw out the most fascinating quotes; and edit everything from articles to books, brochures to annual reports. Do your words need a lift? I can help.

What My Clients Say

I’m fast, accurate and I love finding new and engaging ways of telling stories. Being an editor as well as a writer means my copy is always clear and concise.  

 

I work with a wide variety of clients, from national magazines to charities and businesses, all of whom count on me to deliver.

Angela Lamb

Art Director, Easy Living

I worked with Claire at Easy Living magazine at Condé Nast. I was art director and she was chief sub-editor. She was a dream to work with, nothing was too much trouble and she really supported me in my first art directorship. I knew that she totally understood how to run her desk to get the best results for her team, my team and the magazine.

Jonathan Kemeys

Publishing officer, ZSL

Claire and I worked together on ZSL’s annual report and the zoo guidebooks. I really enjoyed working with Claire – she gets the brief, resolves any problems quickly and helped us deliver an excellent final publication.
