Galina Nemirovsky

I was born in Kiev but came to NYC in the 1979 wave of Russian Jewish immigrants (aka refugees). I spent my adolescence working at our Staten Island donut shop. I went to NYU and while I thought I'd be the next Barbara Walters, the dollar signs drew me to a career in advertising. I got married. I decided to have a piece of the dot-com bubble, so I tried that. I was the # 3 employee twice. I was fired twice, once because I blogged verbal diarrhea about my boss, which was a good lesson. I had a kid. I got divorced. I started Hearts Everywhere where I documented the start of my new life as a writer. Only while I was falling in love with the world, life started giving me more stories than I could write down. So I fell in love with a clown. I moved in with the clown. We had bed bugs and rats and got pregnant and moved to Wall Street. Because that's where all clowns and writers live. We had a baby together. I was joining all sort of 'life clubs' and all the while writing them down privately. Now it's my turn to let everyone into the insanity in my head as I write about it. 2016 Launches my 365 Writing Project: Life Clubs. Read all about it and join the club.
