BIO
Jake Zuurbier, born in 2002, is a writer with a broad background. With a degree in both Business and Management, his work in writing is combined with a business in books & home decor, sports clothing & gear and multiple forms of other output like music or meditations. He has worked jobs in retail and horeca, ranging from a working kitchen in a hotel-restaurant to a floor manager position in a clothing store.
In his free time, he is just as occupied. Photography, weight lifting, kickboxing, cooking and reading are amongst his hobbies.
​
He is an author who usually writes works of fiction. He is most known for his play with perspective and different narration styles, which makes each of his books unique in most every way. Born with a pen in the hand and typing with the other, he has written stories since he knew how to write. Flawed in spelling and errors in the plot, but that is only to be expected of a child.
His first book, "The Detective", was published in February 2023 with Apollo Libraries. Ever since, he has been writing and creating new stories, bringing forth his second book "Erisseth" in Januari 2024, on which he started in 2016.
Because of his background in Business and Management, he started the company Apollo Imperium, with the branch of Apollo Libraries and Apollo Sports Society. This ensured that his works can be published whenever he needs them to be, in the way that most fits the books.
