Claire Gibson

Writer.

I'm a writer, but I'm not a blogger or a traditional journalist. I write about anything that strikes me as interesting—things like education, faith, family and travel. Heck, once I even broke a story about a landfill. My work has been featured in The Washington Post and Entrepreneur Magazine, among many others. So no, I don't have a niche. But so far, that hasn't stopped me.

Editor.

As an editor, I create effective content for businesses of all sizes. Over the years, I've written books, blog posts, website copy, video scripts, brand manifestos and more for companies in the fashion, education, healthcare and restaurant industries. More than anything, I love helping leaders match the right words to their unique vision.

ETC.

In addition to writing and editing, I am a workout enthusiast and coffee snob who thinks that popcorn can suffice as a meal, especially when accompanied by something fizzy. I like to pretend I live in New York City, but most days you'll find me at home in Nashville with my husband Patrick, our son, Sam, and our dog, Winnie. My debut novel hits shelves in 2019.

what story can I help you tell?

Coming soon from william morrow.

The mundane rhythms of a faithful life are like the pain of a solitary run—one foot after another, breathing, willing yourself not to stop, or to be diverted to another path. It’s not easy, and most of the time, it’s not fun. But it is worth it.

Paul tells Timothy not to grow discouraged in his particular race. Persist, he says, whether it is convenient or not. In fact, I’d venture to say that persistence is most evident when it’s not convenient. When life gets boring and painful, like a long and solitary run, we are so quick to turn for relief, for permission to stop, for a detour. We itch to hear some new truth that indulges our desire for comfort. But our comfort isn’t in the race ending; our comfort comes in the form of great partners, running at our side.

Here's what we're learning... the more responsibilities and pressures we carry as a couple, the more important it is to communicate with clarity. We have to talk more often, plan further ahead, and articulate our needs as individuals and as a couple, while thinking through Sam's too. It's compromise, yes. But most of it is just thinking and problem solving and learning to do those things together. Grateful for this "practice" trip to Austin to teach us how to travel as a team. ❤️

Growing up at West Point was kind of incredible. There's something about all of those limitations and constraints and rules that forces cadets (you know, college kids) to find creative ways to have fun and be ridiculous. As a kid, I thought that this was what college looked like. When I got to my buttoned up private liberal arts school, I realized I was oh so wrong. Kids don't stand on tables or write silly skits or go on organized runs around campus at other schools. Turns out, that was just a West Point thing. ☀️❤️😆#beyondthepointbook

Here's our Easter picture ❤️ In his great justice, God sentences us to "time served." In his great mercy, Jesus already served it.

Never stop dreaming. Never stop investing in people who help you chase those dreams to completion. ❤️#beyondthepointbook 📸🕹: @tstarfilms

Over the course of the time it's taken to write #beyondthepointbook I've enjoyed searching for photos to keep me close to the heart of why West Point inspires me so much. @markacarruthers continues to capture those inspiring moments. Thanks for your work and dedication Mark 🇺🇸
