I would like to express my profound gratitude to Heather Jefferies (Vermont, US) for her generous financial and emotional support given to me and my family since the war began in my country (Ukraine, February 2022).Thanks to her help and encouragement, I have been able to keep writing despite many distressing challenges.
I am deeply grateful to Angela Perry (Clearfield, Utah) for her unwavering support and keen editorial eye, which have been instrumental in my writing journey. As the first reader of many of my manuscripts in English, Angela provided great edit suggestions and inspired new ideas. Her insights not only sharpened my craft but also bolstered my confidence during moments of doubt. It’s a blessing to have Angela as a friend and partner.
Back in 2010-2013, my first creative steps in my native language were greatly aided by beta reader Catherine Tarasova (St. Petersburg, Russia). Forgetting her tremendous contribution would be an unforgivable crime. More than simply correcting my drafts, she carefully categorized my recurring mistakes and plot issues, tracing and examining them across my different works. Her eye-opening approach transformed my creative journey. The foundation built with her guidance has proven to be strong enough for my further development as a storyteller in English.
