She launched Bookouture’s non-fiction imprint Thread and helped to build the company into an industry-leading global digital publisher.

She works collaboratively with her authors to perfect their work and give them every chance of becoming a bestseller. Whether launching a debut writer or taking an author’s existing audience to new heights, Claire is always focused on giving authors the very best publishing experience and ultimately, building them successful long-term careers.

Outside of work, Claire enjoys adventures with her family including sailing, stomping through a forest, or cycling in the countryside. She also loves any excuse to throw a party for family and friends which always involves plenty of food and music.
