Clare Sita Fisher was born in Tooting, south London in 1987. After accidentally getting obsessed with writing fiction when she should have been studying for a BA in History at the University of Oxford, Clare completed an MA in Creative and Life Writing at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

An avid observer of the diverse area of south London in which she grew up, Clare's writing is inspired by her long-standing interest in social exclusion and the particular ways in which it affects vulnerable women and girls. All The Good Things is her first novel. She now lives, writes and works as a bookseller in Leeds.

It Comes from the River (2025)
Rachel Bower
"Haunting, lyrical and thoroughly gripping. At once heartbreaking and hopeful, poetic and skilfully plotted, this novel shines a compassionate and achingly honest light on three women's struggles with motherhood, poverty, and coercive control. These characters and their lives will stay with me for a long time."

The Dust Never Settles (2021)
Karina Lickorish Quinn
"An innovative and precisely imagined exploration of identity, family, ghosts, and the intersection between personal and national history. It swept me away."

Exciting Times (2020)
Naoise Dolan
"A funny, smart and sensitive exploration of love, privilege and bisexuality that had me gripped from the first page. Dolan's sentences are like a splash of cold water to the face in the best possible way."
