Claire is an Australian children’s author with a passion – and nose – for sniffing out true stories to empower and inspire.

Driven by her background in journalism, real young people with extraordinary tales sit at the heart of Claire’s books.

Pitching her first book idea to a publisher at 12 years old, she proudly received a hand-typed response encouraging her to keep following her dreams.

Following dreams is a theme running through all of Claire’s books. Her debut picture book Lily The Inventor released with Redback Publishing in 2023.

Lily The Inventor is the remarkable true story of Lily Born, who invents a cup to help her Grandpa. Her next books Abbie’s True Colours and Croc Candy will be out later in 2024.

Over 20 years’ experience working in media and public relations has taught Claire the importance of marketing and networking.

Combining her extensive PR experience with a passion for books, Claire offers a range of media and marketing services for fellow authors.
