At a Glance

As of now, our resource library consists of approximately 515 writers, 660 books by 189 publishers, 569 contributing authors, 860 (302 coverages, 180 clippings, and 378 reviews) articles published in 271 media outlets, 58 works in translation, and 54 useful resources that we consider particularly worth noting.

For short, “idwriters” is a site devoted to showcasing Indonesian writers and/or book authors, along with their publications, journals, and other literary resources in English. Our main feature, the writers directory, provides a way for writers to find one another, but more importantly the resources provided makes it easy for event hosts,—especially for international event hosts—, literary organizers, arts administrators, librarians, booksellers, and readers to get in touch with writers. We built this site because we noticed the lack of resources dedicated to Indonesian literature, especially one that is accessible to the international community.

Questions, comments, articles, infos, etc. are more than welcome. Just send us an e-mail, mention us on Twitter or use the contact form.
