Shayna Keyles

Shayna is the associate director of acquisitions at North Atlantic Books (NAB) in Berkeley, CA. Their approach to books is exploratory, collaborative, and goal-oriented. A nonprofit publisher, NAB’s mission is to develop cross-cultural perspectives, nurture holistic views of the world, and seed transformation, all while elevating traditionally underrepresented voices. We’re an anti-racist press. We love to work with authors who wish to share this mission! Read more about North Atlantic Books here.

Shayna works on books that take a practical or systems-analysis approach to discussions of gender and sexuality, embodiment, racialization, productivity culture, care work, disability, and more. In general, books submitted to NAB should fall under the larger categories of mental health, physical health, spiritual wellbeing, and social change.
