Ben Dearden 

Hi, I’m a writer, actor, and creative storyteller with a passion for bringing imagination to life. Since graduating from ALRA Drama School in 2017, I’ve worked across theatre and film, performing in a wide range of productions. Through my touring company, Candlelit Theatre, I’ve had the joy of bringing classic stories like Macbeth and Jekyll and Hyde to audiences across the UK.

 

From childhood, I’ve been drawn to the wonder of sci-fi, fantasy, and action-adventure. These genres sparked my creativity and inspired the world of The Selected—my debut novel and the beginning of an epic fantasy series filled with action, magic, political intrigue, and a mysterious villain hiding in the shadows. It’s a story for fellow fans of the genre, and I’m grateful for the amazing response it has received.

 

When I’m not writing or performing, you’ll probably find me at the gym, out in nature, or spending time with loved ones.
