Keri Smith Biography

Keri Smith is a Canadian author, illustrator and conceptual artist. According to her website, "The main focus of [Smith's] work/research is on creating what the writer Umberto Eco called 'Open works', pieces that are completed by the reader/user." Most of her books encourage readers to expand their scopes of creativity, such as in Wreck This Journal, she has readers do things to the book itself rather than having readers simply draw or color within the book's pages. Besides Wreck This Journal, her other bestsellers include Mess and This Is Not A Book. She has also written for How Magazine.
