Darya Dontsova met with fans at the RUSSIA EXPO
Writer Darya Dontsova, who celebrates the 25th anniversary
of her creative work this year, jokingly told her fans about her unsuccessful
attempts to succeed in music and art, noting that she "only knows how to
write books". Famous for her hard work, the writer noted that for 25 years
she has not strayed from the rule of "turning in one book a month."
"The audience has not fundamentally changed over the
years. The publishing house periodically conducts research to find out the age
boundaries of readers. The oldest of them are now over 80 years old.
Previously, there was no such group, but later it began to grow — as
knowledgeable people suggest, the whole point is that children began to
actively buy their elderly parents gadgets on which it is convenient to read
books, even if vision has already deteriorated. And in recent years, readers
from the younger generations have also begun to arrive en masse. I think my
books are in demand now, because I, in fact, write fairy tales in which all
ends well, despite everything," said Darya Dontsova.
At the end
of the event the guests took pictures with the writer and got autographs.
