Review: Lead

  • Couldn't help but notice [1] has a picture of Ng. It wouldn't hurt to ask if they could publish the image under a Creative-Commons license, but this isn't a requirement.
  • Any way you could find a pronunciation for her last name?
  • Added
  • during which time she took up writing, Ng went to the United States to at the University of Ohio. To study? missing some words
  • Oops, added
  • Oops, fixed
  • Upon her graduation in 1997, she took a year to work in the US before returning to Indonesia and taking a job at a shipping company ->> After her graduation in 1997, she worked in the US for a year before returning to Indonesia to work at a shipping company
  • Done.
  • How notable are the Adhikarya Awards? I'd redlink if they were notable.
  • Wouldn't know without trying to write an article (first I'd heard of them, but I don't follow children's lit)

Early life

  • ...until 1989; it was while in middle school that she took up writing, studying on her own. what do you mean, "studying on her own"?
Clarified

Writing career

  • The prose gets kind of repetitive, saying one was released... then the next... then the next.
  • From 7 to four now

Style

  • Ng's main characters are generally female, although the characters' employment can vary. A reword would be nice, since this is unclear as to what is being said
  • Changed

Personal life

  • As of 2010, Ng is married to Nicholas Ng, a Malaysian national... Perhaps link Malaysia, and do explain what a Malaysian national is.
