ⓘ About Jesse Q. Sutanto
She lives in Jakarata on the same street as her parents and about seven hundred meddlesome aunties. When she is not busy ripping her hair out over her current WIP, she spends time playing FPS games and baking. Oh, and being a mom to her two children. Jesse is passionate about diversity in publishing and women’s rights. She regularly does giveaways where she will critique queries or the first few pages, and she is particularly interested in helping out writers from marginalized communities. Jesse is able to write so much because of caffeine, lack of hobbies, and lack of a social life. But it’s also because she’s learned how to write pretty fast, so she writes 2,000 words each weekday, and that amounts to quite a few words over time.
