About Keri

Keri Claiborne Boyle is an author and voice-over artist based outside of Boston. She grew up as a self-described 'baseball brat,' following her father's career through the major leagues and attending seven different schools before entering seventh grade.

Her writing spans picture books, chapter books, middle-grade fiction, memoir, and script writing — always with warmth, humor, and a keen eye for the absurd. Her picture book, The Black Hole Debacle, introduced the world to a pesky black hole-turned-pet, and her lovably chaotic book, Otis P. Oliver Protests, was nominated for the 2022 Grand Canyon Reader Award. She's also working on her first adult book: There's No Crying in Baseball is a family memoir about her father's career in the MLB. Keri can also write copy and scripts for her voice-over work. Keri is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, the Writers' Loft, and holds a master's degree in communications from Northwestern University.
