Hi, I’m Dian.

My Partner in Crime
Alda Trisda
As a tech entrepreneur behind the family e-library platform KinderLib and a children’s book author with more than ten years of experience as a literary agent, Alda has a strong passion for introducing great storytelling to readers in Indonesia. By starting with detective stories and crime-themed books from abroad, she hopes to help grow a richer and more exciting selection of stories for everyone, from young readers to adults.
Our Mission
Alda and I are best friends and partners in both work and fun, a true pair of “partners in crime.” With our combined experience in the publishing industry and our shared love for detective and crime stories, we’ve decided to curate some of the best works available in Turkey and introduce them to readers in Indonesia.

About Dian's Turkish Course:
“Kursus ini sangat membantu saya, terutama karena bu Dian memberikan gambaran yang pas untuk diaplikasikan dalam berbahasa Turki (ini juga pendapat teman saya, gadis asli Turki). Pelafalan dan logika susunan bahasanya jelas lebih mudah disampaikan dalam bahasa Indonesia, sebagaimana disampaikan ibu Dian Akbas (yang menetap di Turki). Saya rasa untuk biaya relatif murah untuk hal yang sangat menarik bagi saya, bahasa dan budaya Turki (beliau sampaikan via blog)." [ada banyak kesan, rasanya akan berlebihan. karena saya sangat suka belajar bahasa ini]
Terima kasih banyak atas kesabaran ibu Dian Akbas. BarakAllah._Syafruddin Rifa'ie (sarung)_

From "Best of Turki" Reader:
Niat awalnya ingin membeli kamus Turki. Sudah keliling di semua toko buku di Jakarta, tidak ada yang menjual kamus Turki. Pandangan tertuju ke buku #BestofTurki ini, dan di covernya ada tulisan Alanya. Wah, kebetulan sekali, nanti kan saya di Turki bakal tinggal di Alanya (dalam hati).
Setelah dibaca sampai selesai, buku ini sangat komplit buat jadi panduan wisata di Turki. Informasi wisata di dalam buku ini sangat lengkap, sampai-sampai wisata kuliner plus wisata belanja ada semua di buku ini. Dan lagi buku ini sangat worth it buat saya, karena di dalam buku ini juga ada kosa kata sehari-hari dalam bahasa Turki yanga sangat membantu saya.
Saya sarankan buat para backpacker yang ingin ke Turki, jangan lupa bawa buku ini sebagai panduan, yakin sangat membantu.
