ABOUT: Hi, I'm Claire! Iβm an award-winning self-published author of paranormal thriller books. My book "The Love Trials" is an enemies to lovers thriller about a serial killer who forces lovers to play games designed to break their love and accidentally takes a pair of enemies instead. I won the Grand Prize at the 2023 Writerβs Digest Self-Published Book Awards for They Stay, and have written four more books in the completed series.
There is no one way to write a book. Iβm a strong believer that the only way to develop your own writing process is by trying a bunch of different methods to find out what is the most helpful to you. In my videos, I share how I approach every stage in my writing process, from brainstorming to editing, in the hope that it could give you something to try that could help you level up as a writer. I share techniques that have improved my own writing so you can see if the same strategies help you.
