ABOUT
Ben Kesp is an independent fantasy and mystery author, publisher and brand name who lives in Ireland. Ben has published several books, distributed internationally.
Writing started as a form of escapism, delving into another period or world, where characters sprung to life, much influenced by radio drama - visualisation of what cannot be seen. Roald Dahl, Michael Bond, Raymond E Feist, Emily Bronte, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ildefonso Falcones, Carlos Ruiz Zafón, are just some authors that inspire a passion for reading.
Ben teaches creative writing and the craft of writing, helping writers to construct and prepare manuscripts for publication.
