A Historic Event for Ukrainian Literature

The new literary work is titled “Saving Biloboh.” Its uniqueness lies in the use of an innovative genre – the “collective literary patchwork.” The essence of this genre is that each participant in the project creates a separate chapter of the novel, strictly adhering to a common plot line predetermined by the organizers.

Young Authors from All Over Ukraine

The authorship team of the novel consists of 160 school-aged children from various regions of the country. Throughout 2024–2025, they worked on creating an engaging work in which good confronts evil. The project has become an important event in the literary life, uniting young authors around a common goal.

The unique literary work has received five professional reviews from lecturers at various universities in Ukraine, as well as high praise from members of the National Union of Writers.
