From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kerri Sackville is an Australian Jewish author and columnist.[1] She writes columns for the Sydney Morning Herald and its related publications,[2] and has published five non-fiction books mainly focused on lifestyle and advice.

Early life and education

[edit]

Sackville is a third-generation Australian of Russian and Polish Jewish descent, and attended a Jewish school as a child.[1][3] In her childhood in the 1980s and into her youth, Sackville was an actor.[4][5] After the birth of her first child she returned to education and completed a BA in English and linguistics.[6][5]

Writing career

[edit]

After gaining her degree and the birth of her second child, Sackville began to have articles accepted in newspapers and parenting magazines. Soon was writing regularly for multiple publications, including a regular column in the Australian Jewish News for 12 years.[5]

Her writing career took off while she still had young children, but faced an 18-month hiatus due to a loss in the family in 2007.[5] She got back to writing by using Twitter and eventually started her blog Life & Other Crises in 2009, which she ran until 2016.

A major theme of her work is embracing imperfection, both in domestic life and the personal realm.[1] Sackville has published five books, and contributed to other published works.
