Galina Vromen began writing fiction after more than twenty years as an international journalist in Israel, England, the Netherlands, France, and Mexico. After a career with Reuters News Agency, she moved to the nonprofit sector as a director at the Harold Grinspoon Foundation.
Vromen launched and directed two reading readiness programs in Israel, Sifriyat Pijama (the Hebrew version of the Grinspoon Foundation’s PJ Library Program) and Maktabat al-Fanoos in Arabic. During her tenure, the two programs gifted twenty million books to young children and their families and were named US Library of Congress honorees for best practices in promoting literacy.
Vromen’s stories have been performed on NPR’s Selected Shorts program and appeared in magazines such as American Way, the Adirondack Review, Tikkun, Ilanot and Reform Judaism. She has also written a guidebook to Vienna and worked as a translator (Hebrew to English and French to English). She earned an MA in literature from Bar-Ilan University in Israel and a BA in media and anthropology from Hampshire College in Massachusetts.
Vromen and her husband divide their time between Massachusetts and Israel.
