In honor of Abdul Muis’ birthday, on March 24, 2013 in Bukittinggi, the government (represented by The Deputy Minister of Education and Culture, Wiendu Nuryanti) has been declared July 3 as the INDONESIAN LITERATURE DAY. The promoter of Indonesian Literature Day, Taufiq Ismail, said that the adoption of a special literature day was intended to promote a love of Indonesian literature. In addition, it would promote brotherhood and creativity among literary figures.


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.
