Ben Branscombe
I'm Ben Branscombe. A 25 year old living in London. Currently working as a writer for the online lifestyle magazine Art De Vivre having just previously finished my Master’s degree in Comparative Literature. My work takes inspiration from various aspects of my life such as absurd encounters whilst travelling to my own thoughts and feelings coming through in the characters I write. This often entails many bizarre and absurdist narratives, sometimes funny and sometimes tragic. But I always try to maintain a very human element to them. Capturing the thoughts and feelings no matter how extreme or simple to expose the human side that is confronting a sometimes out of control world. It is that internal aspect within that fascinates me, and I spend long hours within my head to try and flesh out how certain responses manifest and then capture these ideas and place them within a story. My travels around the world have also inspired me. I guess in summary, my work is a reflection of who I am and my own experiences. So have a read of me.
