Biography

Three decades working as a science writer followed, during which time Jill worked with leading researchers, mainly in environmental, agricultural and life sciences, bringing their stories and research to the broader public.
Jill has taught professional writing at Curtin University and has run writing courses for a wide range of participants.
She now blogs and is working on another book (or two!). Jill is available to conduct workshops and give author presentations.
