Every great story starts with a spark — but turning that spark into a world readers can't leave? That takes architecture. I'm a fiction ghostwriter and story architect specializing in fantasy and romance. Whether you have a half-formed idea, a broken draft, or a fully mapped vision that just needs the right words — I build the bones, wire the heartbeat, and make sure every chapter earns its place in the story. What I bring to your project: - Ghostwriting — Fantasy and romance novels, chapters, and series. Your story, your name, my craft. - Plot & Chapter Outlines — Scene-by-scene blueprints that make writing fast and focused. - World-Building — Lore, magic systems, cultures, and history that feel lived-in and real. - Game Narrative & Dialogue — Quest lines, character dialogue, and story-driven game content for indie developers. - Character Development — Psychology-driven arcs, motivations, and relationships that make readers care. I don't just deliver documents, I deliver direction. When you work with me, you know exactly where your story is going and why every piece matters. If you have a story that deserves to exist, let's build it together.

I’m a Jakarta-based writer and translator who is fluent in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. I’m excelled in Microsoft Word, Apple iWork Pages, Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple iWork Keynote amongst other word processing and presentation platform. I’m currently pursuing my Bachelors Degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management in an International University in Jakarta. My interests consist of movies, arts, language, hospitality, tourism and literature. Having had the experience of being a freelance fiction writer, I’m used to using the correct grammar and punctuation as well as paraphrasing. My experience in the field is not many but it is not non-existent as I have helped a number of writers, most especially thesis writers, translate books, transcripts and documents from Bahasa Indonesia to English and vice versa. I’ve also helped them proofread and paraphrase. I also have an experience in Hospitality & Tourism Management. I was an intern at a five-star resort in Bali as a business center administrator. My responsibilities are similar to those of a secretary, such as helping guests type, print, copy and sometimes translate for them. I also have an organizational experience. I was the Student Activity Associate for my university's Student Committee before getting promoted to Director of Student Activity the year after—a title I now hold. My subordinates and I are in charge of the university’s 21 student clubs, including making sure of their well-being, monitoring their performances, arranging their budgets, review their event proposals and budget realization reports, and make sure that they have good relationship with faculty members and the university’s upper management. I have done several projects while being in the Student Committee. The most recent project is the Freshmen Enrichment Program 2017, which was held in September 2017, and my position was Head of Security and Medic. The second one is FUSE 2017, a music and arts event that took place in Jakarta and my title in the project is Head of Public Relations, being experienced in writing and delivering statements as well as social media. I consider myself as a persistent and resilient person. I am able to handle disappointments and effectively deal with rejections. I can accept criticism well, that is without any hard feelings. I am able to overcome obstacles to achieve and am not a quitter. I would not stop trying until my task is completed. I am self-disciplined and I consider myself to able to manage myself well. I like to think that I am well motivated and do not seek rewards for good performance; I am able to set my goals and priorities and prepared to work hard to achieve my goals. I believe that I am able to make my own decisions, gather information before making my decisions, and come up with possible alternatives. However, I can sometimes be a little impatience. I can be a little frustrated with people who perform at a slower pace, with people who I consider as free riders during teamwork, and people who are dependent with other people. The best way to overcome this weakness is that I should understand that people have different priorities, work ethics and standards. I also need to provide pleasant feedbacks and help.
