In the new issue of “With Their Own in Essence” – writer and screenwriter Andriy Kokotyukha. Why does Andriy Kokotyukha identify himself as a craftsman, not an artist? Does the author consider himself talented and strive for popularity? How did Kokotyukha start writing books for children and why does he believe that a book that cannot be made into a film in the future should not be written at all? Let’s talk about the promotion of Ukrainian literature abroad and why none of the domestic authors have yet received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Let’s also talk about finances: how does a writer earn money from his work? Is there a hype limit for Kokotyukha that he will not cross for the sake of earnings? How does a writer maintain high productivity every day?
