Keeley worked for eight years for Tyndale House Publishers, where she served as a product manager, administrator and nonfiction acquisitions editor. Keeley worked with authors such as Randy Alcorn, Joel C. Rosenberg, Chuck Colson, Josh McDowell, Gary Smalley and Dianne Matthews. She also worked for four years at Christianity Today International (CTI), spearheading an author relations initiative for a list of contributing editors for Leadership Journal.
