Fayanna Ailisha Davianny (13 years) is one of the “Little-Little Punya Karya” young writers who has written 42 books since the age of 7. Fayanna gives some tips for students who want to become writers in making books, namely: “must be consistent, not interfere with school schedules, not be able to play gadgets every time and keep reading.”
Fayanna’s love for books begins with the habits of her parents who like to read books. Fayanna is often read by her parents from the age of one. Fayanna won in various writing competitions to meet with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
On this day too, 3 books by Indonesian writers get the category in Anuegerah Book 2018 namely “Rain of June” by Sapardi Djoko Darmono, “Dilan” by Pidi Baiq and “The Dreamer” by Andrea Hirata.
