How Chytomo media was created:
“I’ve always been driven by a desire to engage in tasks that propel me forward. Back in 2009, I was writing my university master’s thesis. I used this as an opportunity to create something practical and impactful. And I knew that Oksana (Oksana Khmelyovska, Chytomo co-founder, editor-in-chief) shared this vision and was the ideal partner to help me bring it to life. Besides, we recognised that the key to our growth lay not only in analyzing the process, but in engaging directly with industry experts — publishers, managers, writers, and designers. How? Given our journalistic background, we decided to start Chytomo — an online magazine about publishing, literature, and design. For the past 14 years, we have been leading this project, and I am pleased to see that Chytomo has now become an influential platform for aspiring publishing professionals in Ukraine, a tool for fostering a culture of reading, and a media outlet that introduces Ukrainian publishing and literature to a global audience.”
