About me
Hello, my name is Alda Trisda. I’m an author of Indonesian children’s books based in Belgium, where I live with my family. I used to be a literary agent, and now I own a foundation: Yayasan Trisda Literatur, which is the start of my career in publishing. I often participate in book fairs around Europe and stay updated on the world of writing.
Currently, I focus on writing children's books. To hone my writing skills, I diligently attend children's book writing classes mentored by senior authors in Indonesia.
This January, Niko’s World (book series) was published by Kanisius Publisher, and the latest book about cats published by DAR!Mizan Publisher.
