Claire Duffy is a Glasgow-born author and screenwriter with over two decades of experience in the film and television industry. Recently, she was selected as a participant in The Writers Lab, an exclusive program for female screenwriters over 40, and her bestselling crime fiction series was spotlighted at the Bloody Scotland crime writing festival. She has just completed the third season of her Storytel audio original series, which is currently being adapted for television.Duffy’s screenwriting career has taken her to Vancouver, London, and Stockholm. However, after years in the industry, she realized it was changing her in ways she didn’t like. In a moment of clarity—one that involved cycling past a production company and giving it the finger—she decided to step away from the film industry. She took a job at a daycare in Stockholm and began writing a daily fictional blog during nap times. The blog became so popular that readers began contacting Swedish news outlets, believing the fictional murder investigation was real. This unexpected success led Duffy to publish the story as a thriller novel, launching her career as a full-time author.In recent years, Duffy has returned to scripted television, leveraging her experience as an indie publisher to create audience-driven projects across multiple media platforms.Her eclectic background includes working in an oil refinery in Ohio and nearly being arrested for carrying a full-sized oar on the London tube. When she's not writing, she can be found attempting to master the trapeze, volunteering at her local hospital, or spontaneously traveling to Paris—the only place, in her opinion, worth online dating
