Claire Carroll lives in the UK and writes experimental fiction about the intersection of nature, technology, and desire. She is also an associate editor and reviewer for Lunate Journal, and an AHRC-funded PhD researcher at Bath Spa and Exeter Universities, where she explores how experimental writing – particularly short stories and prose-poetry – can reimagine how humans relate to the natural and non-human world.
Claire’s short stories have been published by journals including The London Magazine, Gutter, Lunate Journal, The Oxonian Review, and Short Fiction Journal. In 2021, her short story My Brain is Boiling with Ideas was shortlisted for The White Review’s Short Story Prize, and her short story Cephalopod was the recipient of the Essex University & Short Fiction Journal Wild Writing Prize. Both pieces are taken from The Unreliable Nature Writer, Claire’s collection of linked short stories that examines the interconnection of climate anxiety, surviving late capitalism and dealing with personal loss which was published by Scratch Books in 2024. Claire is represented by Ludo Cinelli at Eve White Agency.
