Biography

Jill Marshall received a Masters' in History from Cambridge in 1987. She worked in commerce and in HR for a large telecoms company for 14 years. She then quit her job to pursue a Masters' in Writing for Children at Winchester University, which she received in 2002.

Jill Marshall migrated from the United Kingdom to New Zealand in 2003, where she ran a manuscript assessment service called Write Good Stuff.

In 2011, Marshall published and promoted the picture book Curly from Shirley: The Christchurch Dog as a fundraiser for the New Zealand Red Cross charity in the wake of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, which also led to the formation of her publishing company Pear Jam Books. Following these efforts she was named by New Zealand's Next Magazine as its woman of the year 2011 in arts and culture for her contribution to the local literary scene. However, in mid 2013 it came to light that the Red Cross has never received any monetary donations from Marshall or Pear Jam Books despite thousands of dollars of proceeds from the sale of the book having been paid to her for the express purpose of donation to the earthquake charity.

Marshall left New Zealand and returned to the United Kingdom in December 2012, leaving Pear Jam Books with thousands of dollars in debt and multiple publishing contracts with local authors unfulfilled She is currently under investigation by authorities in New Zealand for copyright infringements.

She has one daughter, Katie.
