Schweitzer Klassifikation
Jay Martin lives and works on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar. After growing up in Melbourne, she travelled widely before landing in Perth, where she studied Asian languages and worked in community development, and later Canberra, where she studied and worked in public policy. Her first book, Vodka and Apple Juice: Travels of an Undiplomatic Wife in Poland, about her three years living in Warsaw, won the Hungerford Award and was published by Fremantle Press in 2018. Having happily resettled back in Fremantle, she swore she would never again live anywhere cold, dark, or more than one direct flight from Perth again. When she was offered a two-year work secondment to Alberta, Canada, she said yes. Jay lives in Fremantle with her husband and a cat with an unlikely name.
