A little bit about me: I grew up going back and forth between Jakarta and Singapore and consider both places my homes. I was fortunate enough to do my Masters in Creative Writing at the University of Oxford, which is surely one of the most gorgeous places in the world. I’ve also made Oxford my entire personality so please excuse the obnoxiousness.
I am passionate about women’s rights and diversity in publishing. I regularly do giveaways where I critique queries or the first few pages, and I am especially interested in helping writers from marginalized communities. If you are a writer from a marginalized community, come say hello to me on Twitter or Instagram! I love hearing from other writers, even if it’s just to say a quick hello.
