Evening with Julia Zolotova: From Concept to Publication

Join me for an intimate evening exploring the journey from creative spark to published novel. One year after my first Russian presentation of Omnichannel Hearts, I'm excited to share how two very different books — Eastern Empire and Omnichannel Hearts — found their way into the world.
This isn't just about publishing mechanics. We'll dive into the messiness of cross-cultural storytelling, the challenge of writing about digital relationships while living between London and Moscow, and what it means when Eastern European critics start calling your work "profound and multi-layered."
The evening will include:

• Behind-the-scenes stories from writing Eastern Empire and Omnichannel Hearts
• International recognition journey including recent coverage in Glamour Bulgaria
• Publishing insights on transitioning from digital to UK print editions
• Interactive Q&A about multicultural fiction and contemporary publishing

My novels have recently won the Creativitys.UK Award and Stein Arts Award. I believe literature works best when it creates genuine conversation between writer and reader, not just one-way transmission.
Come ready to discuss what happens when personal stories become universal themes, and how nail art with London's cultural elite somehow informs character psychology. Looking forward to sharing this creative journey with you.
