Jessie said:

Little Liar was one of those submissions I knew I had to stop everything for and read. Clare’s writing had me on a knife-edge, reading with my heart in my mouth through every nail-biting page. It’s is an extraordinary book that delivers on every possible level and I know Clare has a very exciting career ahead of her.

Broo Doherty said:

I was blown away by Jessie’s enthusiasm for this book; from the moment I submitted it to her, I was conscious that she was just the right editor, and I know that she will publish it with that passion which will drive the book into the hands of the perfect reader. I couldn’t be more pleased with the deal.

I am absolutely thrilled to be joining Jessie and Peta and all of the Bookouture team. Their energy and creativity is inspirational, and I can’t wait for the publication of my first novel, Little Liar, in February 2018.
