Knygolove

Knygolove (stylized as #книголав) is a Ukrainian publishing house and online bookstore founded in 2016. It originated within the 1+1 Media holding as a project to promote television programs, but became independent in 2016. The company focuses on children's literature (about 60% of output), fiction (20%), and non-fiction (20%). It translates global bestsellers into Ukrainian and also publishes works by Ukrainian authors. Its first book, "100 Express Lessons of Ukrainian" by Oleksandr Avramenko, sold over 10,000 copies within a month. Knygolove operates an online store at knigolove.ua and participates in major book fairs such as Book Arsenal and BookForum. The publishing house is owned by Oleksandr Tkachenko (51%), Svitlana Paveletska (24.5%), and Artem Kovalov (24.5%). It has published notable Ukrainian authors including Dmytro Kuleba, Yevhen Klopotenko, and Svitlana Roiz. The brand's core value is love—love for Ukraine, books, readers, results, development, and innovation. In 2019, it released an English-language illustrated book about Ukraine called Travelbook.Ukraine, supported by DTEK. In 2021, it faced accusations of homophobia and censorship regarding the removal of a section on same-sex relationships from a translated book.
