Keli is the author of two books, and a contributing essayist to a third.
 
In 2008 she published Party Crashing: How the Hip-Hop Generation Declared Political Independence (Basic Books, 2008.) The book is one of the first to examine “Generation Obama,” the generation of multi-cultural Americans that followed the Civil Rights Generation. Armed with landmark polling research co-authored by Keli and The Suffolk University Political Research Center, Party Crashing analyzed the political impact of generational differences between African Americans. For Party Crashing Keli conducted interviews with former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Russell Simmons, Julian Bond and young African American voters from diverse ethnic and political backgrounds.
 
Party Crashing was positively reviewed by The Washington Post, Publisher’s Weekly and Library Journal and was also the subject of extensive media coverage in outlets such as Vanity Fair, Politico, and New York Magazine.
 
Goff contributed an essay to the critically acclaimed book The Speech: Race and Barack Obama’s a More Perfect Union (Bloomsbury, 2009) which examined the cultural impact of then Senator Barack Obama’s watershed speech on race relations during the 2008 presidential campaign.
 
In 2011, Goff published her first novel, The GQ Candidate (Atria Books, 2011) which was one of the first fiction books to depict a political campaign through the eyes of the friends of a candidate, as opposed to the candidate or his handlers. The GQ Candidate received coverage in USA Today and was a recommended summer selection of More Magazine and The Los Angeles Times.
