Author's Bio

Tetiana Yatsechko-Blazhenko is a Ukrainian writer, poet, and visual artist working across literary fiction, poetry, and hybrid forms. Her practice explores fragmentation, memory, and perception, often shaped by urban space, travel, and personal mythology. She is particularly interested in the relationship between text and image and in non-linear narrative structures.

Her academic background includes History, Political Science, and EU Project Management. She holds a Master’s degree in History and has pursued further independent and online study in creative writing and literature. Her literary education includes Start Writing Fiction by The Open University; Walter Scott: The Man Behind the Monument, developed by the University of Aberdeen and The Abbotsford Trust; and Comparative Literatures and Cultures: An Interdisciplinary Introduction by the University of Bristol.

Her writing and creative works have appeared in journals and magazines including Eleventh Hour Literary, HEARTS of THUNDER Magazine and The Words Faire.

In Ukrainian, her work has been published in curated literary anthologies and collections, where she is a contributing author, including Koromyslo (2025), KOLOS: Ukrainian Literary Almanac (2025), PANTHEON. The Best 2026, Vol. 2 (2026), Kolo Mlyna (2026), and Kryshtalynky: Winter Fairy Tales 2025–2026 (2026). She is also a co-author of the collective play-patchwork Bosorka (2026), developed through a collaborative writing process.
