How does the program work?

The program invites emerging writers from all corners of Indonesia to submit their stories annually. A curatorial committee carefully selects aspiring novelists, poets, and playwrights to be featured in the Anthology, unveiled at the prestigious annual Festival in October.

With 449 submissions received in 2024, the series has become one of Indonesia's most influential literary accomplishments, showcasing the diverse voices and talents of writers from across the archipelago.

How does my support help emerging writers?

By becoming an Emerging Writers Patron, you help fund the translation, publication, and expenses of selected writers, including airfare, accommodation, and honorarium for their participation in the Festival. Your support not only nurtures young talent but also fosters a sense of community and connection through literature.

What recognition do I receive for my contribution?

As an honored Emerging Writers Patron, you receive special recognition, including an exclusive invitation to meet the emerging writers and patron community at a dedicated event during our annual Festival. Your name will also be prominently featured in the 2024 Anthology and announced at its book launch, as well as in our Festival Program Book.

How can I join and contribute?

You can become a patron by making a gift of IDR 10,000,000, AUD 1,000, or USD 650 or more. Simply hit the 'Become a Patron' button and choose the currency you prefer: Indonesian Rupiah, Australian Dollars, or American Dollars.
