Published
Tuesday, April 26th, 2022Luckily I have also managed to get published few times while being here in Rojava! Most of my submissions to journals and zines have not been published but here are links to few rare exeptions.
Once this exeption happened with this nice online literary journal and arts magazine from Canada called The Forget-Me-Not Press. It was a pleasure to work with those people and my story can be read from the link below. Mine is called Bark Nights and it is the last story on the issue 2.
I was told that this winter in Rojava was more cold that usually. One night temperature reached -9. To me that is not cold and after the burning hot summer of 2021 I enjoyed those temperatures of cold winter nights.

One of my writings got published in a Third Iris Zine issue called Botanica. This zine was themed around the nature and human relation to it. My story is called “Not one but many” and it also has one photo of mine alongside the text. Both the story and photo are about the rough nature of Rojava. This zine can be bought both in print and pdf format. This was actually one of the two articles which I got first approved to be published while being Rojava. What a great feeling it was and a start for a zine writing after a long break. Later I learned that every published story seems to require 8 non-published ones for me. Here is the link:
