Regi Claire studied English and German at the University of Zurich and University of Aberdeen, the latter on an exchange scholarship, then became a PhD student/research assistant at University of Zurich.

She is the author of four published books: two novels and two collections of short stories. Her first collection, Inside ~ Outside, published in 1998 by Scottish Cultural Press, and the second, Fighting It, published by Two Ravens Press in 2009, were both shortlisted for the Saltire Scottish Book of the Year Award. Fighting It was also longlisted for the Edge Hill Prize. Her first novel, The Beauty Room, published in 2002 by Polygon/EUP (since 2013 also available as an e-book from Birlinn), was longlisted for MIND Book of the Year.[2] Her second novel, The Waiting, was published by Word Power in 2012.

Her first published short story won the Edinburgh Review Tenth Anniversary Short Story Competition. A later story was chosen as the Guardian newspaper's Radio Pick of the Day and another, 'The Tasting', was selected for Best British Short Stories 2013. She is a Cadenza prize-winner and has received bursaries from the Scottish Arts Council, Pro Helvetia (the Swiss Arts Council) and Thurgau Lottery Fund. She has received an award from UBS Cultural Foundation.

She was a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, from 2012-2015, and a Royal Literary Fund Lector for Reading Round Scotland from 2015-2017. She has been a creative writing tutor at the National Gallery of Scotland,[1] and Edinburgh City Art Centre.
