Alison Keenan

I was born in Buckinghamshire in the UK educated in Surrey and I live in Berkshire. I began my career at Shell Centre on the Southbank in London and from their public affairs department I moved into book publishing and advertising. I worked as a VoiceOver artist then began working in BBC local radio for BBC Radio Shropshire. My first job on TV was for the ITV flagship show "This Morning" when I stood in for Judy Finnigan. I've also worked as a reporter for BBC's Watchdog Value for Money show, The Holiday Programme and fronted numerous corporate promotional films. I'm currently working as a presenter for QVC the shopping Channel. I have always loved writing and originally wrote for the BBCTV series Doctors and also Channel 4's documentary Dispatches. Following a diagnosis of breast cancer in 2011 I wrote my first book, a memoir entitled A New Kind of Normal. I have since then written my debut novel which is currently out for submission. My first foray into the world of script writing was for The Women's Prize for Playwriting in 2021 and I have several TV drama proposals currently in consideration. I am married with three children and five stepchildren and four grandchildren.
