Hello
Originally from Turkey, I am a Berlin-based writer, poet, editor, and instructor. I hold an MA in English Literature from Potsdam University.
My writing has appeared in the
European Review of Books
,
Versopolis
,
Stadtsprachen
, and
First Page
, among others. My poems have been translated into German, Czech, and French.
In 2023, I won the Best Fiction Prize from the
Oxford Review of Books
, and I am a recipient of the 2025 Berlin Senate Literature Stipend. I have performed at literary festivals including Runokuu in Helsinki, Haus für Poesie in Berlin, and The Word in Denver. I currently teach at the Berlin Writers’ Workshop.
I am currently working on my novel and a short story collection.
