Isyana Artharini

Since 2005, I have been working as a journalist for the national daily newspaper Media Indonesia. I write topics regarding gender issues, environment and cultural events. Out of personal interest, I occasionally wrote book and movie reviews. I regularly write and maintain a personal weblog since 2003. Other than that, I am a pop culture junkie, buys too many secondhand books and, often, tries too hard to be witty. I also admit in having a lifelong complicated relationship with books and reading. For AsiaBlogging.com, I will be writing in mywritingblogs.com/cerpen and mywritingblogs.com/teenlit.
