De Hoop Collection will host a creative writing residency, Writing Life – Writing Experience with the celebrated author Lesley Beake from Sunday, July 11 to Wednesday, July 14, 2021.
“I named this residency after what I do – writing life. The inspirations are everywhere, all around us, and the desire to write is universal. And in the tranquil surroundings of the magnificent De Hoop Nature Reserve where we are surrounded by glorious nature and pristine landscapes, the inspiration is right there on our doorstep,” says Beake.
“There are two things I’d like you to know before you begin,” says Beake. “One: writing isn’t about beginning the great novel. It can be a small fragment of memory – and it can be beautiful; and two: writing can be about the very small, meaningful moments, as well as the great events in life.”
