Each year UWRF puts a call out to emerging writers across the archipelago: send us your stories. In 2019, we received 1,253 submissions, the highest number since the Emerging Writers program’s inception in 2008. The works of five talented wordsmiths were selected for publication in our annual Bilingual Anthology. Hear about their journeys to UWRF, and hopes for their creative futures. Featuring Ketut Yuliarsa, Lita Lestianti, Nurillah Achmad, Ilhamdi Putra, Heru Sang Amurwabumi, and Chandra Bientang.
