Testimonials

  • Clare is thoughtful, insightful and inspiring. I found it really helpful to have her encouragement and input and would recommend her to anyone who is seeking a second pair of eyes on their writing.

  • I know Clare as a novel writing group facilitator and I would recommend her as a writing tutor and advisor. Her clarity, consistency and ability to provide insightful and constructive criticism were very valuable through our weekly sessions.

  • “This was the very first time I was participating in a writing class and it was a really comfortable space. Clare was lovely and welcoming, so it was a great first experience.”

    — Astrid

  • I signed up to finally kick start a sustainable writing practice. I was genuinely impressed with how well Clare managed a bunch of ill and neurodiverse people, it was just lovely and warm and safe and helpful.

  • Clare was just my classmate, but her peer-to-peer feedback far exceeded the comments I got from our professor. She should have been teaching the course. Clare takes care of both the macro- and the micro-level of editing. She will sharpen your meaning with just a single word replacement or, when necessary, boldly move giant blocks of text around. She confirmed my own instincts about how my piece needed to change--I just had to admit it to myself. I immediately recognized her suggestions as the truth-tellers they were, and I found new motivation to make my piece the best it could be. It's clear that Clare thinks critically and compassionately about your work, with as much commitment as if it were her own piece.
