A photo of Bonnibel Rambatan is displayed on the screen of an old dusty pink Apple McIntosh. The computer has strange purple slime, various stickers, and a mysterious bloodstain. A three and a half inch red floppy disk with doodles of a singing bunny sits next to it, in front of a porcelain doll. On the other side, we see a capybara, a full moon, and a single rose.

For aspiring writers, they specialise in bringing social and psychological realism to the page, sharpening character arcs as they grapple with identities and making a manuscript more grounded on contemporary issues.

For non-writer campaigners, they specialise in building narratives that elevate the importance of key issues being advocated while avoiding melodrama, victim-pitying, and on-the-nose messaging.

Across the board, Bonnibel is passionate in helping socially conscious, liberation-driven writers and advocates—especially underrepresented Asians and/or members of the LGBTQ+, disabled, neurodivergent, and/or undocumented communities—find their voice.
