edit data

Arif Zulkifli merupakan seorang penulis separuh masa yang masih belum berani mahu menceburkan diri ke dalam kancah penulisan sepenuh masa. Sering mencelup-celup penanya antara penulisan alternatif dan penulisan sastera dan sering kelihatan melihat sinopsis buku-buku di Kinokuniya tatkala dia kehabisan idea.
