Endah received her first job working for the magazine Hidup in 1993.[2] In 1996, she started at the women's magazineFemina.[1] While working at Femina, Endah interviewed many people, among them Jennifer Lopez, Xanana Gusmão,[2] and Krisdayanti, who asked her to write her biography. That biography was released in 2003 under the title Seribu Satu KD.[1]
In 2004, Endah resigned from her position at Femina to focus on her career as a freelance writer[1] and lead the editorial board at Prodo magazine.[2] During this time, she was approached by several public figures and asked to write their biography.[1]
She also released her first novel, Don't Give Me Drugs (Indonesian: Jangan Beri Aku Narkoba), in 2004.

Between May and November 2006, Endah worked on writing musician Chrisye's biography while he was battling lung cancer.[1] She has called it her "most special" work[2] and Chrisye's willingness to be interviewed "like a miracle."[1]
In 2010 she announced that she was working on a biography of actress Luna Maya. Endah has stated that she plans on writing a full biography, not just about the star's recent sex tapescandal.[3]
