Writers, Ink: Your backstage pass to the world's most prolific authors

A twisty journey through Silicon Valley with Jakob Kerr.


Listen Later

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, Jena Brown, and Kevin Tumlinson as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including stories about a star NFL player, book trend predictions, and RedNote. Then, stick around for a chat with Jakob Kerr!

Jakob Kerr is a writer and the author of Dead Money, coming soon from Bantam Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House. His work is represented by Verve Talent.

In addition to his work as an author, Jakob is a lawyer and communications executive in San Francisco's tech industry. He was one of the first employees at Airbnb and spent a decade shepherding the company from tiny startup to global phenomenon. Jakob has also been a bartender, sportswriter, and—for one disastrous afternoon—the driver of an ice cream truck.

After fifteen years in San Francisco, he recently returned to his native Pacific Northwest, where he now lives with his wife and children. Dead Money is his first novel.
