Elina Slobodianiuk is considered the “mother” of copywriting in the post-Soviet space and Eastern Europe. She is the author of two bestseller books “The Copywriter’s Handbook” (2009) and “The Copywriter’s Treasure” (2014). Among her students are winners of the Cannes Lions awards for advertising.

Elina Slobodianiuk’s stay in KROKODIL’s Writer-in-Residence is realized through the project Spaces of Freedom. Association KROKODIL, as an independent organization from Belgrade with literary, artistic and socio-political activities has decided to provide shelter and support to Ukrainian literary creators on top of other activities related to Ukraine such as collecting humanitarian help for the City Perinatal center in Kharkiv etc. Being that a large number of Ukrainian writers have been offered similar programs in many European countries, we decided to open the doors of our residence for writers to all literary creators (including, besides prose writers and poets, also essayists, translators, editors, cultural journalists, comic book authors, theoreticians, columnists, singer-songwriters, rappers, spoken word performers, etc.).

This project of the Association KROKODIL is supported by: The European Cultural Foundation, Heinrich Böll Foundation, FRIDA and Pobbunjene čitateljke.
