Ndari

Ndari is an Indonesian writer, book blogger, and bookseller who has always believed they were destined to live surrounded by books since learning their ABCs. For them, books have never been just objects to read, but alsoasomething to write about, to build community around, to analyze, and to make beautiful. This passion led them to begin book blogging and join the Blogger Buku Indonesia community in high school, later co-design and illustrate book covers under the name Sukutangan, and eventually establish There But For The Books, an online bookstore focusing on works by women and queer authors. The bookstore was born during a period when they were diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), which required them to remain at home

Ndari adalah penulis, blogger, dan penjual buku asal Indonesia yang sejak belajar huruf percaya bahwa ia ditakdirkan hidup dikelilingi buku. Bagi Ndari, buku tidak pernah sekadar benda untuk dibaca, tetapi juga sesuatu untuk ditulis, dianalisis, dibangun komunitasnya, dan dijadikan indah. Hasrat ini mendorongnya memulai blog buku dan bergabung dengan komunitas Blogger Buku Indonesia saat masih di bangku SMA, kemudian ikut mendesain dan mengilustrasikan sampul buku dengan nama Sukutangan, dan akhirnya mendirikan There But For The Books, sebuah toko buku daring yang fokus pada karya penulis perempuan dan queer. Toko buku ini lahir pada masa ketika ia didiagnosis dengan Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), yang mengharuskannya tetap berada di rumah.
