MEET THE AUTHOR

MICAIAH KEOUGH

I was born with storytelling in my veins—I like to think so, anyway. I grew up in Hawaii and spent countless hours outdoors risking life and limb with my siblings. I live for everyday adventure… and I understand the fear that creeps in despite courage. This is why I write uplifting stories, ones filled with hope and heart and adventure. To give others a glimpse at the light we all crave.

I’m in my final year of studies at The Author Conservatory, where I’ve had the honor of being mentored by industry professionals in both business and writing. In September 2025, my short story, Chasing Clocks, will be featured in the seventh installation of Voices of the Future. I also work as a line editor and proofreader for Glory Writers Press, where I offer critique to award-winning, independently published authors and student writers.

You can almost always find me with a cup of coffee in hand, a plane ticket booked, and indie acoustic music blaring in the background. I love my family and friends, am an ocean girlie at heart, and want to spend this life chasing Jesus and sharing His heart with the world.

What makes my stories different?

They're hope-filled and heartwarming—but they don't shy away from the depth and complexity of real life.

They're all about adventure…in the everyday and the grandiose moments.

They are realistic, character-driven YA about overcoming failure despite the odds.
