BackStage

Michelle Keller is a Memphis-based writer and author with more than two decades of experience covering luxury travel, human interest, golf, and the forest products industry, (yes, everything from sawmills to sand traps.)

​

Her debut novel, 364 First Dates, follows Emma Vanderhorn, a newly divorced forty-something podcaster navigating modern dating one painfully honest date at a time. It’s cheeky, heartfelt, and just real enough to make you text a friend (or an ex).

When she’s not writing, Michelle works behind the scenes with musicians and audiophiles, helping them fine-tune their sound. She also hosts The Purposeful Heart, a Christian karaoke series rooted in community, faith, and a little courage at the mic.

Based in Memphis and always thinking one chapter ahead.
