I am an award-winning journalist and author, specialising in women’s health and fertility. My work has appeared in The Times, the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail,  the i paper, Red magazine, Women’s Health, Grazia, ELLE UK, and Positive News, among others.

My first book, Life, Almost: Miscarriage, misconceptions, and a search for answers from the brink of motherhood, is out now, in hardback, audiobook, and ebook.

I specialise in fertility and women’s health and enjoy unravelling science and medicine so it can be understood by even the most hopeless of arts graduates (like, err, me). In 2019, I was highly commended in the freelance writer of the year category at the Medical Journalists Association Annual Awards. I also won an Association of British Science Writers’ award in 2016 for a piece on myths about the human metabolism.

As well as my journalism work, I write a weekly newsletter that aims to expand our understanding of fertility.

Previously, I ran an award-winning blog The Uterus Monologues, about my own experience of recurrent miscarriage and sharing the stories of others who have not had a straightforward path to parenthood. I still post there occasionally and I am open to guest posts.

I’m always interested in commissions that address fertility, pregnancy and loss in all their complexity. For journalism work, please email me directly: jennieagg@gmail.com
