Indonesia has an extraordinary opportunity to showcase its rich literary and intellectual talent on the world stage as Indonesia has agreed to be country Guest of Honour (GOH) at the Frankfurt Book Fair (FBF) in 2015. The FBF is held annually in mid-October in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and is the world’s largest book fair.

Indonesia will showcase its rich and diverse literary and cultural heritage – traditional and contemporary – to Germany, Europe, and the world. And moreover, Indonesia will have a chance in this “cultural diplomacy” outreach to widen the world’s perception of Indonesia beyond being a “tropical island paradise” by expanding an appreciation of its rich literary and intellectual talent.


At a Glance

As of now, our resource library consists of approximately 600 writers, 831 books by 257 publishers, 771 contributing authors, 1146 (385 coverages, 224 clippings, and 537 reviews) articles published in 360 media outlets, 81 works in translation, and 58 useful resources that we consider particularly worth noting.

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.

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