Frequently asked questions
The questions that come up most often. If yours isn’t here, use the contact form.
How can I get a book signed?
The easiest way is to come to a signing: the calendar is on the Events page and new dates go to the newsletter first. If you can’t come, Liman Kitap (Sinop) and Kıyı Bookshop (Izmir) ship signed copies. Books mailed in for signing unfortunately cannot be accepted.
Can I read your books online?
Yes. Three stories from The Eclipse Notebook and an essay from The Silent Map are here in full, along with opening chapters from the novels. The reader remembers your typeface, size and paper, and picks up where you stopped.
Would you join our book club?
A few times a year, mostly online. The online meetings happen every two months and are open to everyone on the newsletter. For an in-person visit, choose “Book club” on the contact form and tell us the size of the club and the city.
Would you visit our school?
School visits happen once a month during term and are free. The request must come from the school administration. Details are on the Workshops and school visits page.
Will you read my manuscript?
Sadly no. There isn’t time to read everything that arrives, and reading some but not others would be unfair. You can send your manuscript to the open submissions channel at Denizce Yayınları, where every submission is read by the editorial team.
May I quote from your books?
Up to 300 words, freely, with attribution. Longer quotations and use in anthologies or course material need written permission from the publisher.
When is the next book out?
The Book of the North Wind is published in autumn 2026. The exact date and the pre-order announcement go to the newsletter first.
Which languages have the books been translated into?
The Wind Gatherers into eight languages, The Light at the Bottom of the Well into three, The Eclipse Notebook into two. Foreign rights are handled by Kalem Agency; details on the Rights page.
