Program Declaration
Our activity is aimed at the creation of the thing that Ukraine can be proud of. We see the development of the contemporary publishing business providing profitability of publishing and bringing in decent revenue for its owners, authors and partners as our main task.
Book creates nation. «Calvaria» creates Ukrainian book. «Calvaria» is one of not so numerous publishing houses editing books only in Ukrainian, setting high quality above all, making an active promotion of Ukrainian contemporary authors abroad and selling rights to their books edition.
We experience pleasure in creating what we create. We do things that cannot be created by anyone else. That is the main reason why the most interesting writers, artists, translators and experts choose us for cooperation. We discover new names and create new stars, publish token works of famous Ukrainian and foreign authors and form new tendencies of the publishing market through our activity.
Our potential is based exclusively on the legal activity in the realm of copyright, on talents and high professionalism of each member of the team, on the innovation thinking and active position at the market. Our decisions base upon experience and creative intuition, so we always achieve our goal.
