Hello everyone, I’m Tevfik, a writer from Turkey. I’m pleased to join this community as I take my first steps toward the global literary market. My historical novel, "Lime and Shadows" ("Kireç ve Gölge"), was published in Turkey. It explores the dark, psychological reality of the Siberian katorga, focusing on the parallel survival paths of Sergey Durov and Fyodor Dostoevsky. While Dostoevsky holds onto his spiritual core, Durov descends into moral pragmatism to stay alive. Having completed this work, my goal now is to connect with international writers, learn about the translation process, and find literary representation in the UK/US markets. I would love to exchange thoughts on historical fiction, the challenge of writing real historical figures, and how international authors can best approach English-speaking agents. Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!
