Jill Marshall Books
Jill Marshall is the author of the popular middle-grade series about Sensational Spylet, Jane Blonde, and many other titles and series for tweens, teens, YA and adult. Jill’s books have been published by Macmillan Children’s Books, Penguin and Hachette, in 22 countries, 11 languages and paperback, ebook and audio formats. Jane Blonde has been optioned for film and TV, with significant film interest in other Jill Marshall titles. Jill has also been an editor and manuscript assessor for trade publishers and societies, a creative writing teacher for over 1000 clients, and works in corporate communications. During lockdown in 2020, and with all rights for all titles successfully re-acquired, Marshall fulfilled two long-term ambitions. The first – to create an independent publishing house of her own titles, rebranded and re-imagined for a digital world. The second – to pull together Jane Blonde and three other ‘superhero’ characters, all with their own origin series, into an ensemble series, S*W*A*G*G (swaggbooks.com). The third ambition was one that she couldn’t have foreseen: the wish to provide quality fiction for tween readers and upwards, in readily accessible digital formats and for free, in a world ravaged by a global pandemic. In May 2020, Jill Marshall Books was born, and all three ambitions met. JMB has gathered momentum and fandom during those months, and it’s now time to partner with like-minded book people – innovative, passionate, caring – to extend the reach of JMB titles across formats, locations and media. Welcome to Jill Marshall Books. We look forward to connecting at Frankfurt 2020.

March 2022Plundering the Planet
Things We Must Do Now
by Franz Alt, Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker
“The Limits to Growth” was published by the Club of Rome in 1972 when the term “eco” was more defamatory than a real trend. That never worried Franz Alt and Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker, a long-standing co-chairman of the Club of Rome. The two committed and renowned environmental experts have campaigned for decades for a change of heart in how we treat our planet. Their book delivers a stark diagnosis about the state of the Earth – though without giving up hope. They search from various angles for a way out of the global crisis: what is the blueprint for a democracy that addresses humanity’s needs and for a sustainable economy? Are we ready to learn from nature and to make not just human beings, but all living creatures our priority? Alt and von Weizsäcker offer courage, and their numerous examples set out a vision for the future that respects the planet’s eco-systems.

Avishag Amir, the author, is the proud mother of three girls. As a puppeteer-artist, she owns her own puppet show that puts on seventeen different plays, some of which she wrote herself. The first act from one of her plays is presented to you here, as a personal gift!
