Our history

Since 2009, we have followed Ukrainian book-market news, and implemented special projects on key Ukrainian and Eastern European cultural trends. We are now analysing relevant issues and helping the cultural industry stay alive, especially during this war and looming humanitarian crisis.

Throughout its 12 years of existence, Chytomo has provided information support to over 1100 literary and publishing projects, organisations and initiatives, and has played a vital role in literary criticism and information, helping develop the creative industries’ ecosystem. The Chytomo team offers comments and consultations on the world of Ukrainian books and literature, and is open to cooperation with international editors.

Our funding is transparent and derived exclusively from grants, cultural funds, readers’ charitable donations, and advertising revenue from publishers and publishing companies.

Our editorial staff is currently working remotely, in shelters.
