He moved to Istanbul with his family at the age of nine. After graduating from Istanbul Technical University with a degree in architecture, he devoted himself to writing. Including essays, articles, critiques, plays and scenarios, he produced literal work in all fields. Besides his novel series, his satirical prose and critical essays found much acclaim in the society.

His novel series, The Lost Generation (Kayıp Kuşak), Istanbul Quartet [tr] (İstanbul Dörtlüsü) and Everlasting Antiquity [tr] (Ölümsüz Antikite) have all been printed by several publishers.

His essays appeared in literature magazines such as Varlık, Gösteri [tr], Radikal Kitap, Cumhuriyet Kitap, Notos, Sıcak Nal [tr], Roman Kahramanları [tr] and Yasakmeyve [tr]. He wrote columns in newspapers for a certain period of time. His short stories were printed by İnkılap Yayınları under the title Babalar ve Kızları ("Fathers and Their Daughters") in 2005.

His "Barbaric Banquets of Poets" (Şairlerin Barbar Sofraları) is a guide for the curious, about depths of literature and the inner world of poets. "Barbaric Banquets of Poets" strongly paints the desperation, futility and the sadness felt by poets, as the modern day gathering places of poets, taverns, pubs, alehouses and tea gardens increasingly fall from grace in contrast with public tradition.[1]

His radio play, Çalınan Tez (Stolen Thesis) received an award from the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT). Furthermore, he ventured into juvenile fiction with his Güzelçamlı'nın Kayıp Panteri (Güzelçamlı’s Lost Panther) which was published in 2006 by Can Yayınları. His radio play “Taşhan” was aired on TRT 1 between July 14–22, 2006. Antalya State Theater started to stage his adapted play from Ömer Seyfettin; Asilzadeler (Noblemen) in the 2008–2009 season.

He is a member of the Pen Club, the Turkish Writers Syndicate and the Turkish Chamber of Architecture.
