New Zealand writer and editor

Claire Mabey is a New Zealand children's writer and books editor for The Spinoff. She is the founder of literary festival Verb Wellington.

In 2020 Mabey received a Ghost Light Award at the Wellington Theatre Awards, and was described in the citation as "a force of nature in the Wellington arts community".

In 2024 her first book The Raven's Eye Runaways was published by Allen & Unwin. She had received the 2022 Creative New Zealand Louis Johnson New Writer's Bursary to support her work on the novel. Hera Lindsay Bird described it as "powerfully atmospheric", and said Mabey "pays her young readers the highest compliment, by respecting their intelligence, compassion and capacity for language".
