My name is Kevin van den Essen (22/03/1994) from Helmond, Netherlands and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to browse my website.

What do you really want to do? That's the question I was asked in 2020 after continuously being denied jobs because of a lack of work experience. I've known the answer since I completed a creative writing minor during my journalism studies: I want to write (interactive) fiction.

In 2021, I scaled down the amount of jobs I applied to (still getting denied every time due to a lack of work experience) and began working extra hours at PostNL. I invested most of my time in writing and started a creative writing course at the Schrijversacademie where I completed the introductory course and a specialization course on fantasy and science fiction.

I've come to realize that writing (interactive) fiction is, for a number of reasons, not an easy path to follow. That's why I'm always looking for new opportunities that can challenge my abilities. Below you'll find a short summary of my skills, personality and interests.
