In 2009, one of Indonesia’s most important fighters for freedom, a publisher, translator, and left-wing intellectual, JOESOEF ISAK, died at the age of 81. He is most known as the man who, together with the late Hasyim Rachman, defied the dictator Suharto and published the works of Pramoedya Ananta Toer, which were banned under the New Order’s decrees.


At a Glance

As of now, our resource library consists of approximately 588 writers, 801 books by 246 publishers, 736 contributing authors, 1091 (369 coverages, 210 clippings, and 512 reviews) articles published in 344 media outlets, 76 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.
