Mike Allen – Seán O’Faoláin International Short Story Prize

Mike Allen.

Hello.

I’m a writer from London. I have an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia. In 2018, I was awarded an Escalator Prize by the UK National Centre for Writing. In 2019, I won the Seán O’Faoláin International Short Story Prize (judged by Billy O'Callaghan). I’m currently working on a collection of short stories.

Get in touch at hello@mikeallen.co. If you’re feeling particularly generous, you can buy me a coffee.
