Carl Jacobi

Article Abstract:

Journalist and short story writer Carl Jacobi read a great deal as a child, and started writing at an early age. He majored in English Literature at the University of Minnesota from 1927 to 1930, and during this time made his first professional sale. He took work as a journalist after graduation, but soon abandoned this and made his living as a pulp-writer. He was forced to take regular work with Honeywell as an electronics inspector when the pulp markets collapsed.
