In his remarks, he expressed his pride at J.S.

His presence is expected to inspire and motivate students to become writers or novelists in the future,&#8217; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WR 1 also expressed his hope that J.S. Khairen could create works inspired by life on the dynamic UMSU campus. &#8216;Campus life that is so dynamic can be a source of inspiration for future works. We hope this activity will give birth to young writers who can follow in his footsteps,&#8217; said Prof Arifin, opening this event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Previously, the Head of UMSU Press, Dr Muhammad Arifin, M.Pd., said that UMSU Press continues to seek young talents in the world of literacy actively. &#8216;We recently received an award in Jakarta as the most creative and compliant publisher in submitting manuscripts to the National Library. One of our main focuses is looking for young novelists. We have organized novel writing training and initially sought 15 candidates, but only 11 were selected. If anyone has a manuscript, please send it to us,&#8217; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16042 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/umsu.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_4426-1024x575-1-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umsu.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_4426-1024x575-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/umsu.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_4426-1024x575-1-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/umsu.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_4426-1024x575-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/umsu.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_4426-1024x575-1-750x421.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Besides focusing on developing young novelists, UMSU Press is committed to writing books outside the university category. As Prof. Dr Muhammad Arifin explained, it has launched eight books resulting from an 8-day book review activity, which Rector Prof. Dr. Arifin opened. The activity concluded with a month-long book exhibition on the 3rd floor of the UMSU bazaar, featuring Gramedia books, including works by J.S. Khairen. The event received a positive response, with visitors reaching 40-60 people daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The book fair attracted local students and international students from Uganda, Ethiopia, and Morocco. The culminating talk show with J.S. Khairen was expected to motivate the participants that writing has a bright prospect. &#8216;We also invited back the writers involved in the book review to deepen their knowledge,&#8217; added Dr Muhammad Arifin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The talk show with author J.S.
