On some personal news: I’m so delighted to let you know that this month I've joined Asymptote Journal as an Editor-at-Large for Indonesia, filling a position left vacant by Tiffany Tsao, who now becomes Editor-at-Large for Australia. I will be in charge of this region with fellow Indonesian, Norman Erikson Pasaribu. (Nevertheless, at the same time, I’m still serving idwriters.com)
Hope this new issue helps you pass a great week!
