Born in Ukraine, Reva moved to Canada with her family in childhood, and grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is an MFA graduate of the University of Texas.[1] Good Citizens Need Not Fear, her debut collection, was based in part on family stories of life in Soviet-era Ukraine.[4] In 2025, her debut novel Endling was published.[5][6]

Apart from writing fiction, Reva writes librettos for operas working with various composers, including her sister, Anna Pidgorna.[1]
