Raditya Dika. The following is his biography

Youth who used to be called Radith was born in Jakarta,

December 28, 1984 with the full name Raditya Dika. Radith is a writer from Indonesia who is
known as the author of humorous books. These writings came from his personal blog which
is then recorded. His first book, Goat, in the category of best-seller.
The book tells the life Dikung (Radith) while studying in Australia. Radith writings can be
classified as a new genre. When he released his first book, yet many who go in the world of
comedy writing, let alone a personal diary style.

The first work that lifts the name suggests is a book called Goat: A Diary of Stupid Student
(2005). This book tells the life Radith while still studying in Adelaide, Australia, and
presented in diary format. All the stories in his work comes from personal blogs belonging
Radith earlier, www.kambingjantan.com , who is now a www.radityadika.com .

His second book, Love Brontosaurus, published in 2006. Almost the same as the previous
book, the stories in this book comes from the story of everyday Radith. However, this book
uses the format short story that tells about the experience of love Radith who always seems
unfortunate, as the cover story of first love Radith sent letters to friends at school, to

I a also played in the film is lifted from his life experiences, Goat: The Movie. His fifth book,
Pink Marmot, who told me about Radith thinking about love, published on June 1, 2010.

Radith initiate the desire to record his diary on his personal blog when he won the Indonesian
Blog Award. Radith also an award winning show, The Online Inspiring Award 2009 from
Indosat.

From that experience, he printed his writings on the blog and then he offered the manuscript
to several publishers to print is printed as a book. At first many refused, but later the
manuscript was accepted by GagasMedia, although they had a presentation first.

Radith to successful became a writer because he was out of the mainstream. He tampul with a
fresh new genre. What makes Radith different from other writers is the name of the beast he
always used in the titles of his books. For Radith, this is a selling point.

For Radith, as the authors still have to have innovation. Actually, at first not too sold her first
book. This, according to Radith, is the risk into a new genre.

Radith then aggressively promote the blog that he managed. He was also vigorous promotion
by word of mouth (word of mouth). Radith asks readers to take pictures with his first book
was then sent to Radith.

Be it a marketing strategy that can manage the reader as a target market. According Radith, in
writing, not necessarily after the book appeared, completed affair. Then, marketing submitted
to publishers.

Instead, the author should also be a marketer for his own book because the author is actually
also an artist. Creative writers who will make her book as a product that must be sold in the
market.

Although the book is basically not a commercial item, but look at the book as a product of
knowledge who pelu marketed is a thing to be done at this time.

Being a successful writer does not mean there are no barriers. According Radith, resistance
not only from the book industry, but also of the things that are diagonal. That is, opponents of
the book industry may not be another book industry but other industries that are not related at
all as entertainment (entertainment), food, and others.

For example, when a young fellow has 50,000 rupiah currency, not necessarily he will spend
it for books. It could be money that used to watch movies in theaters or buy fast food. And
certainly, the book is not the primary choice.

For Radith this is already common. All you need do is continue to create and be creative. For
him, the competition is the key to innovation. Pressure competitors can be a motivation to
continue to provide new ideas and explore the capabilities.

Radith is now continuing his studies in the extension program of Social and Political Sciences
Faculty at the University of Indonesia. In addition, he is now a career in book publishing
Bukune. Radith acting as a director as well as director and editor in chief.
