Get to know our authors, follow their work, and support the development of Kazakhstani literature.

Mikhail Zemskov, Managing Partner of EZ Solutions, emphasizes:
“We firmly believe that investing in Kazakhstani literature is essential, as it represents one of the core assets of the country’s creative economy. If we can build a sustainable system of support for literary projects — both materially and intellectually — Almaty has the potential to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the future.”
