Jill has written about sports and fitness-related subjects for New York Magazine, The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, Teaching Tolerance Magazine, The Village Voice and other venues. She's also written regularly about the fearless swimmers splashing about in the waters around Manhattan. Click below to see some sports-related pieces.
In March 2015, Jill wrote two pieces about upcoming sports titles for Publishers Weekly. One explored publishers looking to embrace a global perspective on sports, and the other focused on the passion of the regional sports fan and ways publishers satisfy that hungry audience. There was a wonderful array of books that spring, summer and fall including these other sports titles.

  Most people wouldn't think of dipping a toe in New York's East River, but a hardy bunch of open water swimmers couldn't wait to take the plunge into New York's waterways. There were swims around the Statue of Liberty, under the Brooklyn Bridge across the East River but the most famous was the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim which was a 28.5 mile, counter-clockwise, tide assisted swim around, you guessed it, all of Manhattan. No wetsuit allowed. And Jill wrote about all of them, mostly for "Crosscurrents" NYC Swim's newsletter but for other venues as well. She also tracked down former winners of the swim around Manhattan for a column, "Where Are They Now." and had a stint editing the newsletter as well as managing NYC Swim's facebook page.
