Writers / W

Comprehensive and current, our biographical compilation features 649 Indonesian writers, each with a minimum of one ISBN-listed publication. The list extends to encompass Indonesian writers residing abroad, irrespective of citizenship or temporary residency status, including those who have spent their formative years beyond Indonesia's borders. The designation     denotes individuals of Indonesian birth, origin, or descent, whether of partial (mixed) or full heritage.

Whether you are a seasoned writer or just embarking on your literary journey, whether your creative pursuits span the realms of literature or genre, fact or poetry, our inclusive listing caters to the entire spectrum.
