Kgshak Akec
Kgshak Akec is a writer, a poet, and a lover of words, and Hopeless Kingdom is her debut novel. She is currently a master’s candidate in Creative Writing at Deakin University, and an artist in residence at Somebody’s Daughter Theatre Company in Melbourne. From the moment she learned how to write in English at the age of six, Kgshak has been writing out the stories that live inside her mind. Fascinated by human experience, the untold words and unsung songs of the day-to-day, as an early-career writer, Kgshak finds herself drawn to stories that transport and are grounded in truth. Her deep love of stories and world-building is existential.
