Bukan Cupid Writers Interview on ProResensi RRI Pro2 FM

'Bukan Cupid' writers was invited by ProResensi programme, Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) Pro2 Jakarta 105.00 FM, on Sunday, February 19th 2012. Six writers that represent the whole team were Lea Citra, Christina Juzwar, Pricillia Anastasia, Valleria Verawati, Irena Tjiunata, and Janita Jaya. We were interviewed by the announcer Ms. Lia Achmadi. She also gave some quizzes for the listeners which they can answered via Twitter or Facebook, the question was: Sebutkan berapa jumlah penulis cewek dan jumlah penulis cowok di kumcer 'Bukan Cupid' -- Mention how many female and male writers in 'Bukan Cupid' short story compilation project. That's a tricky question actually, because some people doesn't know that some writers are using pen names and they are actually male! So it's quite tough, the listeners should listen carefully just in case that any of us would accidentally mention the answer. We were having fun that day, telling our stories during the making of the book. Each writer has their own interesting story, from funny stories, love stories (of course!) and even sad experiences. We were telling jokes while waiting for the quiz, until somebody hit the right answer: 11 females and 3 males! Hahaha finally!
Congratulations to all the winners (I don't remember their names, sorry!). Each winner would be given a book gift set from our publisher :)
