Dawn Keable is a Miami based writer transplanted from the biggest city in the smallest state, right before the start of a global pandemic. (Cue a moment, if there ever was any, for her intense lifelong resilience to shine.) Dawn enjoys exploring topics of culture and lifestyle, usually with humor, as well as a deep commitment to the practices of journalism. Her work has been published in a variety of local and national publications including Newsweek, Seventeen, although her professional highlight remains as restaurant critic for the alt weekly Providence Phoenix.
Dawn is also the author of two novels, Settling Down, humorous women's fiction and Beyond, a powerful work of young adult fiction currently in the agent querying stage. Beyond explores the cycle of inter-generational trauma, with the hopes of healing and demystifying for young people surviving in often toxic situations out of their control, combining the honest deep reflection of the works of Kathleen Glasgow, the smart wit of Rainbow Rowell and solution based practicality of Oprah’s What Happened To You. These kids, often suffering in silence, need this work.
When she’s not dreaming up imaginary worlds, Dawn is employed as the wordsmith for her husband André’s anti-racism business, Racial Just Us, while actively searching for the next live salsa band. While the Florida politics are kinda a tough sell for this liberal soul, Miami remains a place of incredible beauty and compassion. From inside her 1920’s house, with the magical Banyan tree in the backyard, Dawn says GAY as often as she can. And no, she does NOT miss winter. Only Tony’s Portuguese bolos. The kind with raisins.
