Julie Gray is a developmental editor and native Californian living in Tel Aviv. Her book, The True Adventures of Gidon Lev was one of the Kirkus Review's Best Books of 2020. Julie appreciates a good gin and tonic and loves Middle Eastern food, which is convenient, given her location. She's currently writing "They Do Things Differently Here," a memoir about making the move from Hollywood to Israel and the hilarity that ensued. Julie's writing can be found in The Times of Israel, the Jewish Journal, Moment Magazine, the Huffington Post, the NY Post, the Sanskrit Literary Journal, and MovieMaker magazine among others.
