Women in Translation Month
A dedicated page to celebrate Women in Translation Month (WITMonth), an event to raise awareness of books by women that have been translated into English. Women in translation must exist yearlong, but in August we get to give them that extra platform that they might not always have.

At a Glance
As of now, our resource library consists of approximately 602 writers, 833 books by 257 publishers, 775 contributing authors, 1152 (387 coverages, 226 clippings, and 539 reviews) articles published in 362 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.
