About Carson

I am a Turkish-American hybrid storyteller, experience creator, horror artist, and art top. I am the co-founder of two arts organizations: The Escapery Pirate Art Collective and Queer Cat Productions Theater Company.

I have experience as an actor, children’s story reader, tour guide, ghost tour leader, tarot reader, and professional storyteller. Contact me if you’d like to book me for a reading or Halloween party.

I create theatrical experiences, and my work has appeared and is forthcoming in theaters and on ships and in cemeteries and on stages across the bay area. Sometimes I dangle from the ceilings of art galleries like a spider.

As an Art Top/ Imaginary Friend, I teach writing workshops, help writers begin or finish their projects, and will gladly help you commit to your art practice by any means necessary.

I am also a professional horror nerd/artist/critic and an associate editor of pseudopod.

 

“Carson's care and attentiveness with my work makes me feel like a writer whose work matters”

“The mode of reading in their workshops, is deeply generous and helps surface themes in my writing that I didn't even realize. Having that trust in my fellow readers helps me lean into drafting as early, messy, but still with kernels in it of something bigger, because I know it will be taken for what it is and will be, not what it isn't.”

“"Carson pushes writers to tear down their limiting beliefs about what they can and can’t do, and shows them how to rebuild their creative cities”

"With Carson's help, writers don’t just find their creative genius, they wrestle it to the ground and then learn how to make it fall in love with them." ”

— Lauren Sapala, Writer and Writing Coach

Boots, stripey socks sliding across the airport, my flight without me. Portland, I’m coming for you. soon!
In just a few hours we are getting haunted! Come by Akbar and share some spooky stories...
Two shrouds and 60 candles. Packing for a ghost show.
Telling fortunes and tendering spirits now til midnight. Come on by if you need shelter from the gloom.
