Between 2015 and 2019, his work appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Vox, and The Awl.[1][10][11][12]

From 2019 to 2023, Keiles was a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine.[13] In 2022, he began working on a journalistic book entitled The Third Person about nonbinary identity in American, to be published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux in early 2026.[14]
