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.”
