A writer for publications such as Rolling Stone, Maclean's, Saturday Night and The Walrus, Jackson has also published the non-fiction book Home Free: The Myth of the Empty Nest (2010),[4] and the short story collection Don't I Know You? (2016). She was a cohost of TVOntario's literary talk show Imprint from 1995 to 1997.[5]
In December 2014 Maclean's magazine published Jackson's account of harassment she experienced from her co-host, Hargurchet Singh Bhabra. Jackson and Bhabra had been co-hosts of a show on books, entitled Imprint, during its first season, in 1994.[8] Jackson felt her complaints over Bhabra's harassment were not taken seriously. Both she and Bhabra were replaced for the second season. Bhabra committed suicide three years later.[9][10]

Then one day when everyone else had left the office he said, 'You know Marni, I'm very grateful there's a wall between our offices, because otherwise I should find it difficult not to throw myself at you.' (Yes, he really did talk like that.) I felt off-balance. This was not a compliment, I realized, it was more like a threat. I told him that his remarks were inappropriate and asked him to stop.

'He tells her everything was a lie,' said a friend who read Bhabra's letter. 'He tells her he was not a legal immigrant. That there is no book [the writer was working on a trilogy with Doubleday] no publisher, no money. That he failed at everything and everybody. And that he's sorry, but he has to go.'
