Testimonials

Testimonials

"As the publicist for Man Up, Claire did a job that was nothing short of outstanding. A book written by a young and unknown first-time author is no easy sell, but thanks to her diligence, hard work and infectious passion, the coverage Claire secured far exceeded any expectations or hopes I had at the beginning of the publishing process. From a serialisation in the Telegraph, to features in the Times and the Guardian, to rave reviews everywhere from the Daily Express to the Topman blog, the book received widespread support across the political spectrum and in old and new media alike. None of this would have been possible without Claire; she was an absolute delight to work with and I couldn’t have wished for a better person to have fighting my corner." Jack Urwin, author of Man Up

 

"I have enjoyed working with Claire on The Dun Cow Rib.  The exposure she achieved worked wonders.'  Sir John Lister-Kaye OBE FRSGS, author The Dun Cow Rib

"In the time that Claire was at Icon, she not only achieved all publicity goals set, but ensured our authors were looked after in the most professional manner." Philip Cotterell, Managing Director of Icon Books

 

"Claire joined the team of freelancers who work together as part of BookMachine Works just 4 months ago, and so far the working relationship has been great. Claire understands what is needed by clients, and is clear and communicative and results-focused. We look forward to working with her more over the coming years!" Laura Summers, Founder of BookMachine

"Claire has supported us at Trigger publishing on numerous projects, and has secured some outstanding coverage for our books and authors.  Claire's passion, enthusiasm, professionalism and excellent communication has made her a pleasure to work with.  And importantly, getting positive feedback from our authors has been fantastic, but not surprising!" James Waller, Managing Director of Trigger Publishing
