I am a literary, philosophical, legal and political freelance translator from English and German into Turkish, and from Turkish and German into English.

I have a wide and versatile experience in translation and in academic and non-academic writing. I work fast, produce high quality, critically acclaimed translations and deliver them on time, meeting even the tightest deadlines.

My published translations into Turkish include short stories by such authors as William Faulkner and Ray Bradburry, novels by Adelbert von Chamisso, Anthony Horowitz, Neil Gaiman, and Patricia Dunker, children’s and young adult literature by Zoran Drevenkar and introductory books to Heidegger’s and Deleuze’s philosophies by Barbara Bolt and Damien Sutton & David Martin-Jones respectively. I am also a regular Turkish translator of the reports and press releases of the international NGO Human Rights Watch.

In addition to being a freelance translator, I also work as an assistant professor of political theory. I have a Ph.D. degree in Political Science from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada and have been teaching at Istanbul Bilgi University (where the medium of instruction is English) for the last 16 years. I have edited and written two books on political theory in Turkish and published scholarly articles, opinion pieces and interviews in Turkish and English in various academic journals and popular media outlets.

While much of my experience in translation and writing has been in print and digital media, I can and will easily adapt my skills to the needs and necessities of the localization and digital entertainment industries, including the use of different types of CAT software.

I am confident that the versatility of my linguistic skills, my experience in different genres, as well as the speed with which I produce high quality translations will be an asset to any localization project that you might consider assigning to me.
