Melly Sutjitro is a Chinese Indonesian author who lives in Jakarta with her husband and two kids. She spent a few years living in San Francisco while completing her Master degree. After spending a decade in corporate offices, she decides to pursue her love of storytelling through writing. She has nine Picture Books and three romance novels published under the pen name mellyberry. When she’s not stressing over the plot in her manuscripts, she enjoys reading all sorts of books (as long as they’re not horror) and documenting her thoughts on her Instagram page. Occasionally, she would spend her time cooking, doing Pilates, and watching the re-runs of Friends, The Big Bang Theory, and Ted Lasso.
