The project is being implemented with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives. More than 200 young and novice writers of the Far East took part in the competitive selection. 20 writers and three participants of the special military operation reached the final.

On behalf of the Amur State Medical Academy, Alexandra Vladimirovna Solovyova, Advisor to the Rector for Public Relations, took part in a large-scale literary project. The invited experts were Sergey Vasilyevich Lukyanenko, Evgeny Viktorovich Kharitonov and Dmitry Nikolaevich Baikalov. Writers from Yakutia, Chita, Vladivostok, Nakhodka, Ulan-Ude, Magadan, Khabarovsk came to the festival in Blagoveshchensk.

"We sent our works in advance to participate in the competitive selection at the beginning of the year. As the organizers noted, the competition was 10 people per place. The work of the forum lasted a whole week. Experts analyzed in detail the works of each forum participant. I am a long-time fan of the science fiction writer Sergei Vasilyevich Lukyanenko. It is difficult to convey the emotions from the fact that the literary idol personally read my stories! - the rector's adviser shared.

Alexandra Vladimirovna submitted four stories in the genre of science fiction for the competitive selection.

— It was very exciting when it came to the analysis of my works. In general, in my opinion, the experts and participants spoke well of my stories. Sergey Vasilyevich noted that he liked two of them - "What does it mean to dream about Leo Tolstoy" and "Donor of happiness". In the latter, he advised to change the ending. Experts also noted that my stories are suitable for shooting short films. And in general, they emphasized that it is quite difficult to write short stories in the genre of science fiction, and also advised to continue working and not to give up literary creativity," Alexandra Vladimirovna added.

Following the results of the festival, it is planned to publish a collective collection of creative works of the participants.
