David Keane is an Irish writer living and working in Dublin City. He writes across several forms including prose, poetry, and scripts. At MacDowell he worked on his second novel, Attrition, which was inspired by the murder of two children in rural 1920s Ireland.
He has been published in several poetry and short story anthologies and has read his work on national radio. His treatment for a contemporary Irish screenplay, Grand, secured him a place on a script development workshop run by Working Title Films.

With a background in psychotherapy David has facilitated therapeutic writing workshops and has run general creative writing courses.
