Para pembicara kali ini telah mendapatkan tempat tersendiri di dalam gelanggang sastra Indonesia. Mereka akan berbagi cerita tentang karier kepenulisan mereka dan bagaimana mereka menekuni keterampilan menulis. Tentu saja mereka menyerap pengaruh dari para pendahulu, dari khazanah nasional dan dunia, hingga memastikan gaya mereka sendiri. Soal pilihan meneladani gaya penulis tertentu bisa menjadi bahan perdebatan, sebab tidak selalu mudah melepaskan diri dari model yang telah dipilih, tetapi terbukti, mereka berhasil.

Each of the productive and highly popular authors on this panel hold a special position in Indonesian literature today. Join them as they share their experiences on the development of their writing careers and what it took to achieve the positions they enjoy today. Who are their favorite authors? Who did they learn from? Their lessons learned are ones that will be equally valuable to emerging generations of authors.
