Ralph Keyes

Ralph Keyes (born January 12, 1945) is the author of fourteen books. His bestseller "Is There Life After High School?" was made into a stage musical of the same name that is still produced in this country and abroad. "Chancing It" was a "New York Times" “Notable Book.” "Timelock" was selected by the "Book-of-the-Month Club" and excerpted in "Readers Digest". John Jakes called "The Courage to Write" “one of the two or three best books on writing I’ve ever read.”

Keyes has appeared on Oprah Winfrey, "The Today Show", "The Tonight Show", "ABC World News Tonight", and twice on "20/20". On National Public Radio he’s been interviewed by Susan Stamberg, Robert Siegel, Noah Adams, Neal Conan, and Terry Gross (on "Fresh Air", "All Things Considered", and "Talk of the Nation"). He was one of Bob Edwards' first guests on "The Bob Edwards Show" on XM Radio. "People Magazine" has featured him twice. His own articles have been published by magazines such as "Esquire", "Good Housekeeping", "Glamour", "Cosmopolitan", "Self", "GQ", "Newsweek", "Parade", "Sports Illustrated", "Car and Driver", "Harper’s", and "Human Behavior". An article he co-authored won the McKinsey Award for Best Article of the Year in the Harvard Business Review.

After graduating from Antioch College in 1967, Keyes studied at the London School of Economics and Political Science. From 1968 to 1970 he was Assistant to the Publisher of Long Island’s "Newsday". Following a decade spent as a Fellow of the Center for Studies of the Person in La Jolla, California, Keyes did free-lance writing and lecturing in the Philadelphia area. He now lives in Yellow Springs, Ohio with his wife Muriel. There, Keyes writes, lectures, and is a Trustee of the Antioch Writers’ Workshop.
