The creation of the French edition of the collection began in 2022, when Lyuba Yakymchuk was contacted by a French copyright trading agency.
Two publishing houses competed for the rights to the French translation of the book – a large online publishing house and a smaller one with a long history.
“The agent and all the cultural managers with whom I consulted recommended a smaller publishing house – Editions des Femmes. It was the right choice, because the publishing house paid a lot of attention to the promotion of the book. For example, I am currently on a three-week literary tour of France, and the book, as they say here, has made good press – it’s television, radio and newspapers“, the author said then in a comment for UP.
