Lex Shramko (aka Alexa Schriempf) is currently working on a World War II fairytale braided from memoir and biography, set in both the past and present, about her mother, a war orphan who discovers her existence as an 85 year-old-woman. When she is not writing, she teaches philosophy and feminism.

​

Otherwise, she is always on an adventure of traveling, biking, or scuba diving, or checking out the latest coffee shop. Preferably one with a resident cat or dog.

​

Shramko has published academically in Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy, Disability Studies Quarterly, and Subjectivity.

 

As a newly emergent creative writer, she has published recently in Moonpark Review, Gargoyle, Broadkill Review, IHRAF: Voices of Ukraine, and the Washington Post. She was a resident fellow at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA).
