Alan James Keogh


Biography

My name is Alan James Keogh and I am a 20 year old writer with dyslexia.

I am a third year student in U.C.D (University College Dublin) studying for a degree in English and Classical Studies and wondering who is stupid enough to give me a degree.

I also write a blog in which I post new short stories every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, that's right, three new short stories a week, every week. They can be viewed at https://AlanJamesKeogh.wordpress.com

I did consider writing this in the third person, as though it was written by someone else, but Alan is not comfortable writing in the third person as it seems kinda creepy and unbalanced so Alan decided it was probably best to write in the first person. He hopes it went well for him.
