Jackson Pearce begon op twaalfjarige leeftijd met schrijven, op zoek naar verhalen over slimme meisjes, magie en dieren die ontbraken in haar plaatselijke bibliotheek. Haar werk verkent vaak thema's die zijn geïnspireerd door haar studie Engels en Filosofie, wat een diepe interesse in onconventionele onderwerpen weerspiegelt. Door haar verhalen creëert ze een onderscheidende stem die resoneert met lezers die op zoek zijn naar originele en boeiende verhalen. Haar diverse eerdere ervaringen in verschillende beroepen geven haar literaire inspanningen een uniek perspectief.
