Born in Awali, Yacoub’s first writings were at the age of ten, writing a detective story called “The adventures of Inspector Yak: In search of the missing Shampoodle” and “The Insect Exterminator” which was later turned into a school production. After completing a degree in Multimedia Technology at Leeds Metropolitan University, he rediscovered his love for writing and since then has started his blog Yagoob’s Dome (http://ydome.elzeeyed.com) where topics are mostly about the little things that nobody notices in Bahraini daily life and culture. This also is a recurring theme in his creative writings as he will be reading an as yet untitled short story especially written for the Elham session.
