Clare originally hails from Ann Arbor, Michigan, where the terrible cold produces the kindest people you’ll ever meet. Her writing has been recognized by Script Pipeline, the Austin Film Festival, Final Draft Big Break, Slamdance, Nashville Film Festival, ScreenCraft and The Stowe Labs, among others. She was recently awarded a residency at the Vermont Studio Center under the VSC Dramatic Writer Fellowship. 

Clare writes to find her own bravery, and to better understand why we are the way that we are. Her strengths lie in dialogue, character, and unconventional forged-in-fire relationships. She writes dramas, comedies, mysteries, and tales of complicated young women trying to make sense of the world. She spends most of her days convincing her friends to drive to Burbank, where she lives with her boyfriend and their cat, Simon.
