Ink and Affection

Eda Saltürk, born in Datteln in 2007, has enjoyed writing stories since elementary school. For her, books are worlds she likes to immerse herself in to forget reality for a moment. With her young adult novel "Fairy Dust", which she began writing at the age of 14, she took her first step into the public eye. Today she is 16 years old and has discovered her love of poetry. She has published her first English poems in her new book "Ink and Affection".
