Korena Di Roma Howley grew up in Asia and the U.S. and always had plenty of books in tow while traveling around the Pacific. After earning her B.A. from Franklin College (now Franklin University) in Lugano, Switzerland, she moved to Washington, D.C., and became a writer and editor on the digital team at National Geographic. Over nearly 10 years with the organization she encountered numerous tales of resilience, innovation, and discovery from explorers and storytellers whose work continues to inspire her.
A freelance writer and editor, Korena primarily reports on science news and education for multiple outlets. Her debut picture book, Sarang Saves the School, with illustrator Joowon Oh, will be released by Candlewick in July 2025. Her second book, A Hanbok for Hana, also from Candlewick and illustrated by Jaime Kim, is forthcoming in 2026. Korena lives in Williamsburg, Virginia, with her husband and son. Korena is represented by Lisa Amstutz. Publications
