Jill Stark

Jill Stark is an award-winning journalist, author, mental health advocate, and media strategist.
A natural-born storyteller, Jill is fascinated by the complexity of the human experience and has a unique ability to bring the issues that matter to life.
Jill’s career in the media spans 20 years, with a decade on staff at The Age covering health and social affairs as a campaigning senior writer and columnist. Prior to that, she cut her teeth in newsrooms in Scotland, where she grew up.
Jill’s latest book, When You’re Not OK: A Toolkit For Tough Times, is a self-care manual for the days when you feel alone, broken, or too weird to be normal. With compassion, humour and honesty Jill offers signposts to help you find the path back to yourself.
