The year before last, I was only dreaming of having my works featured in an anthology, but in 2024, I finally took the first step: I entered a competition and succeeded. After my first publication, I continued on this path with more confidence, and over the course of the year, my writings were included in a total of seven anthologies. I can proudly say that these volumes feature four of my poems and three short stories.

I’m already preparing for this year: I’ve submitted my work to several competitions, hoping to further expand my anthology contributions in 2025. Like many writers, I too have a half-finished book tucked away in the “drawer.” I hope 2025 will be the year I finally complete it, and maybe even see the publication of my own book. I’m excited to see what the new year has in store!
