Humeyra Cetinel

Humeyra Cetinel is a writer originally from Sint-Niklaas. She studied Oriental Languages and Cultures at UGent, and besides writing, she also enjoys cycling, puzzles and cinema. In 2017, she published the children's book 'Ridder van Karton' - a modern heroic story about empowering girls - in collaboration with Studio Sesam vzw. In 2023, publisher Borgerhoff & Lamberigts published her debut novel 'Nomad'. In her work, Humeyra often emphasizes diversity, emancipation and intersectionality. This is partly based on her own experiences: as a child of migrants, as a Muslim and as a woman.
