Milestones Of My Work
My First Book: Irmak'ın Hikayeleri
June, 2016
In 2016 I turned the short stories that I have written when I was a little girl into a small book. This book has included approximately 10 short stories. I had written those between ages 7 to 11. It was the first book that I've ever put together and it was really a big deal at the time. I can still remember the joy when I saw my name on the cover, unforgettable! It was one of the most important milestones on my writing path.
My Second Book: İlk Paylaşımlar
June, 2017
In 2017 thanks to my teacher, I combined my childhood short stories and the essays, the poems I have written in my litterature class and turned them into a book. It was a much bigger project than my first book. It had almost 50 compositions and it made me and my teacher so proud. So it was an other big step for me and it helped me improve my writing skills.
My First Published Short Story: Çaresiz
July, 2021
In 2021 my short story named "Çaresiz" got published in Papirüs magazine which was founded by Cemal Süreya in 1960. It was essentially written for my litterature project and then I have decided to send it to this magazine and they liked it and published it. It was my first published story, my first published work so it was very important for me and it was really encouraging. The concept of my name and my work being on the cover of a magazine that people can actually buy and read was incredible. And it openned me a new path, a path within I wasn't only writing for myself but for others too.
