On this day in 2002, National Book Day declared by Minister of Education Abdul Malik Fadjar and takes place on May 17 every year—a date that coincides with the establishment of the national library in 1980.

The book day is often associated with reading habits in Indonesia.


At a Glance

As of now, our resource library consists of approximately 600 writers, 831 books by 257 publishers, 772 contributing authors, 1149 (386 coverages, 226 clippings, and 537 reviews) articles published in 361 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.
