Ahead of the 24th<\/sup> Lviv Publishers\u2019 Forum representatives of the Ukrainian book market speak about realities and perspectives of the Ukrainian publishing business at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n

According to Kateryna Babkina, poet and writer, Ukrainian book market has been growing fast in the past five years. \u201cJust a few years ago I was the one to say that we had no book market as an organized system of institutions. Now we do have it,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is partially because less Russian books are coming to Ukraine. [\u2026] Now Ukrainian publishers can save some money and use it to buy the rights,\u201d added Ivan Malkovych, poet and founder of the publishing house A-BA-BA-HA-LA-MA-HA. He noted that the number of new publishing houses in Ukraine is increasing. \u201cThese publishers are young, the way in which they present books is appealing, they are beautifully designed. The Ukrainian book fair is similar to the European or international ones,\u201d Malkovych said. However Ukrainian market still has room for improvement. \u201cOur country is big and our market is small. It is quite a sad disproportion,\u201d emphasized Oksana Forostyna, director of Yakaboo Publishing.<\/p>\n

According to Oleksandr Afonin, president of the Ukrainian Association of Publishers and Book Distributors, the number of translated literature has increased by 80 per cent in comparison to 2015. \u201cThey have been publishedmostly\u00a0thanks to the translation grants provided by the institutions of the countries from which the rights are bought,\u201d Kateryna Babkina said. Translations of Ukrainian literature start appearing. Babkina said that the Ukrainian-Canadian Foundation established a grant to translate Ukrainian books into Hebrew. The grant will be provided regularly. \u201cIt comes as Ukraine\u2019s official support to Israeli translators and publishers,\u201d Babkina said. Maria Shubchyk, project coordinator at the department \u201cInformation and Library\u201d at the Goethe-Institut Ukraine added that there is a trend of experience exchange between international and local institutions that support publishers. \u201cWe can justly say that we have things to teach,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Oleksandr Afonin also said that the increase of money circulation in Ukraine in comparison to 2015 has not been considerable \u2013 $110-120 million. \u201cNo capital assets are present in the sector, publishing houses exist due to current assets,\u201d he said. Fiction and books for children keep being the most demanded with Ukrainians. At the same time the market sees a new niche growing \u2013 non-fiction literature.<\/p>\n

However, this development is not systematic. There is no nationwide development strategy in the publishing sector. \u201cToday Ukraine has no publishing policy [\u2026] that would include credit and investment policy, and would treat book publishing as a tool for personal development seen from the state level,\u201d Afonin emphasized. He added that in order to popularize books in Ukraine all stakeholders related to humanitarian policy including ministries and especially the newly established Book Institute need to take action.<\/p>\n

The 24th<\/sup> Lviv Publishers\u2019 Forum will take place on September 13-17. The detailed program is available on the website http:\/\/bookforum.ua\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
