As a freelance copywriter she worked for, among other things, the popular Dutch TV programs Sesame Street and Klokhuis; she wrote short stories that later became picture books, and she wrote various teaching methods for primary education. From 2000 Marja became an editor of the children's magazines PIPPO and POMPOEN, and in 2005 she started developing a toddler magazine for the World Wildlife Fund called PipaPanda.
