Claire Cameron

I am a reader, a staff writer at The Millions and author of THE BEAR. 

Adventure is at the heart of my writing. I am interested in those times when I’ve got hurt, scared or felt like I couldn’t keep going. I want to know what happens to a character when she or he is pushed to the edge. It’s a way to glimpse inside.

And bears. I write about bears because I love them and they scare me. I’ve met quite a few bears in my time and what I’ve observed often doesn’t reconcile with the stories I hear.
