Kerri Sackville

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

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

Writing career
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.

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. 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. Sackville has published five books, and contributed to other published works.

Personal life
Sackville has three children and lives in Sydney.
