Sara Gürbüz Özeren

She was born in Erzurum in 1956 and completed
her primary school education in the same province.

In 1968, she passed an exam and got the right
to study in Yavuz Selim Boarding School and was
honoured to be the best student when she graduted
from this school in 1975.

At the same year, she started working as a
teacher in Gozalan Village in Erzurum. After working
as a teacher in many primary schools in villages around
Turkey, she returned to Erzurum and continued
working in the same province until her retirement.

Ms. Özeren started to be interested in literature
through the fairy tales, national stories, the lives
of poets, the lives of national heroes and their
adventures. The stories of ordinary people, the
mystery of the nature and the special bounds that
she has for the children through the nature of her
profession directed her to start writing.

After 33 years of successful career as a teacher,
she got retired but still works as a primary school
teacher in a private college in Erzurum.

She is married and a mother to two children.
She has more than 250 different titles published
by Damla Publishing.
