Feby Indirani/-When Feby Indirani was a young girl, writing helped her to put things in perspective and make sense of everything that happened around her – from keeping a diary to penning poems and short stories to eventually joining the school paper as a teenager.
At 17 years old, she was the runner-up in a writing competition held by a national teen magazine.
“I think that was the first time I realized that writing could be more than just a hobby,” she recalls. “After finishing high school, I didn’t really know what major to choose – all I knew was my love for writing, and so I decided to study journalism, which I thought was closest to writing, and then I fell in love with journalism as well.”
Feby soon realized she didn’t have to choose one or the other.
