Clare joins our 'home-grown' author community

From writing copy for Discovery Channel, to launching independent surf lifestyle magazine, founding a creative content agency that works with the likes of iTunes, Kodak, Nesta, National Trust, Dove and Arm, to consulting on projects with vulnerable young people, Clare's 20-year career is expansive.

She's interviewed Hollywood directors, discovered what’s next in the world of brain computer interfacing, met the Bodmin Beast hunters and covered international literary prizes. But through it all, she's always drawn to the same thing. Finding the story and telling it well. That’s what makes her world go around.

Away from the world of copy and content, she's guest lectured on BA and MA courses across the Southwest for the past seven years. And set up festival showcases, co-directed and edited digital literary journals and brought acclaimed authors and creatives down to Cornwall to share their insights and stories. Between all that, she writes short and long fiction, contributes to podcasts and hosts book groups that celebrate the craft of writing.

Clare's amazing story Little Lights (Godrevy to Portreath section) was included in our award winning Twelve Stories for Twelve Sections and we are thrilled to publish more of her profoundly emotive work.
