Back in the good old days of primary school, I became a match commentator by jotting down my play-by-play thoughts in my trusty schoolbook. One day, my big brother's friend caught me in the act and asked, "Do you want to be a writer?"
I chuckled nervously because I had no clue how to answer him. But fast forward to today, and I write to make a living.
I have authored 5 anthology books, with 2 being published by a self-publishing company and 3 by a major publisher.
I am building the #1 and the only AI-focused newsletter in Indonesia.
I created an AI community on WhatsApp and gained 500+ members in a month. Now it has 3800+ active members.

During the first two years I took over and managed the Instagram and Twitter accounts of MIWF, people in Indonesia’s literary circle were confused and curious, wondering who was behind these accounts. MIWF came forward with something different, and the plan for paid promotion on social media was canceled because the accounts had already gone viral and successfully attracted more than 4,000 new followers on Twitter and over 6,000 new followers on Instagram during the four-day event in 2019.
Until today, only a few writers knew who the phenomenal admin behind MIWF’s social media at that time was.
