Hi All!

My bonsai isn’t doing well. I’m really new to this. She is a month old. She is not yellowing just shriveling considerably. She’s in a sunlit place indoors, but I’m wondering if she needs more direct sunlight/grow lights?

Any advice would be helpful!

Looks more like a watering problem - too much / too little(?)
I'll try to water some more. It's just so strange that the leaves are still green but shriveling. Maybe I am giving too little.

Dry looks most likely. Sometimes a small pot can get dry in just a few hours in a heated room.
Appears to be planted in a cup? Does it have drainage holes to allow excess water to drain away? It takes a little longer but trees can also drown if the soil is too wet. Symptoms of both over and under watering are similar so only your knowledge of conditions over the past few weeks and current state can decide which is more likely.

BTW, don't feel too bad if this tree does not make it. You will have joined a very long list of people that tried but did not succeed first time.
