Lale Gül debuted at age twenty-three with her autobiographical novel I'm going to live, in which she describes her upbringing in a strict-Islamic family and disputes everything she was taught. Her book, which has since been translated into several languages, has attracted worldwide attention and won the NS Publieksprijs in 2021 as the youngest winner ever. In addition to her impressive literary career, Lale Gül is also an engaging and powerful speaker, sharing her experiences about the complex relationship between faith, culture and personal freedom. In her second book, I Am Free, Lale Gül takes readers further into her quest for freedom and provides insights on how to free yourself from limiting beliefs, culture and expectations of others.

Lale's work goes beyond books. In her successful podcast series Van God Los, in which she and journalist Ronit Palache have conversations with people who have let go of their faith, she uncovers the hidden struggles of faith leavers. This podcast provides deep insight into the experiences of people struggling to break ties with a religion and find their own path.

She is in high demand for lectures in libraries, conference appearances and social events, where she shares her story of personal liberation, the search for identity, and how these themes converge in our society. Lale is a powerful voice for young people, believers and non-believers who are conflicted with themselves about culture and religion, and she invites reflection and self-development.
