Why you need to speak to me
Clare Christian changed my life. Whenever I am asked about significant events, this thought recurs. Simply put, Clare Christian is the magic ingredient in a publishing recipe which had for many years eluded me. Clare is the person who took me from unpublished writer to internationally published author, guiding and honing my work and creating rewards that I had only dreamed of. The pleasure in seeing my debut novel Dust on the shelves in Waterstones and Foyles, and then translated into German and Chinese, was beyond dreams. Clare Christian is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced publisher, without whom I would never have been able to waltz into bookstores and see my name, rubbing shoulders with Hunter S. Thompson. That truly felt like success!
Clare is tremendous: insightful, knowledgeable and innovative. She pulled me out of a trough when despite great representation and good published track record, I could not get a book deal.
She gave me a most incisive overview of what I could do and then went on to edit a project spectacularly well and helpfully. She is worth many times over her reasonable
fees... I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. Ace.

Clare pulled me out of the fetid corner of the internet I was wallowing in, gently coaxed me into trusting my ability to put one word after the other and has, as a consequence, had a profound and long-lasting (positive!) effect on my life and career choicesI am blessed to have had her in my life. If you get the chance to work with her, take it. Your life will improve.
