Keeley Dodson

Writer

I specialize in crafting historical fiction and fantasy stories with spirited young adult voices at the front and center. A special interest of mine is writing "own voices" stories that spotlight chronically ill and disabled charaters.

Narratives of Resilience and Identity

My storytelling is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to see their own stories, struggles, and strengths reflected in fiction. This is particularly true for teens and young adults. I love voices that spring off the page and plots with heart and humor. In fantasy, I always appreciate high stakes and a striking plot twist or two.

Hi, I'm Keeley! Here's a little about me. I began telling stories when I learned how to talk (and now I don't shut up), and have been writing stories since shortly after I learned to write! I attempted my first novel when I was thirteen. Since that (failed) attempt, I have honed my craft through hours upon hours of research and classes. I have tried my hand at a variety of projects, including many short stories, another novel, and a novel currently in progress.

My favorite books at the moment include Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross and Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys. I am always on the hunt for a fun new read, particularly those with disability and chronic illness representation. I love to feel seen in stories!
