Avram Maurits started his translation journey seventeen years ago, as a means of making additional income during his university days. Returning to his home country of Indonesia, he continued working on various translation projects, which included curated articles, legal documents, documentary subtitles, nonfiction work, and religious tracts. As he began to work in the development sector, his work started to focus more on social issues and stories from marginalized communities. Having to interact directly in grassroots-level conversations required him to keep an ear out for the subtle tones and meanings behind lengthy dialogues. Bram spent seven years translating and interpreting in the non-profit sector before eventually shifting to a new career in learning and development at a retail company.

About Us
For short, our main feature, the writer's directory, provides a way for writers to find one another, but more importantly, the resources provided make it easy for event hosts—especially for international event hosts—literary organizers, arts administrators, librarians, booksellers, and readers to get in touch with writers. It's a HOME FOR INDONESIAN WRITERS. We strive to break down the language barriers that have prevented Indonesian books or literature from becoming more widespread.
