About Clara

Clara edits the long pieces — guides, comparisons and in-depth articles where structure matters as much as sentences. Her edits usually start with the order of the argument rather than the commas: does the reader get the answer early, does each section earn its place, and is anything said twice?

She trained as a sub-editor on a regional newspaper and later edited for a non-fiction publisher, two jobs that left her allergic to vague claims and padded paragraphs. She brings both habits to SEO content, where they are easy to lose.

Eight years in, she edits the team’s longest and most technical work and maintains the house style guide with Emily.

What she works on

  • Structural edits on long-form content
  • Accuracy and claim checks
  • House style and consistency
  • Headline and introduction edits
  • Feedback and coaching for writers

Her team

Content & Editorial team

Clara reports to Emily Hart, Head of Content. She shares the editing desk with Romy Elisabeth, taking the long-form and technical pieces while Romy covers day-to-day articles.

Approach

Cut until it is clear

Clara’s edits tend to make articles shorter and more useful at the same time. If a paragraph exists only to hit a word count or repeat a keyword, it goes; if a claim cannot be backed up, it is either sourced or removed.

Outside work she sings in a choir, walks the Peak District at weekends and is always halfway through a long Victorian novel.
