In 1944, Petroveanu enrolled in the French-Romanian section of the University of Bucharest's literature faculty, graduating in 1947. During this time, his first work was published; this consisted of literary news that appeared in Studentul român in 1945. Right after completing university, he was hired as an editor for Contemporanul. He was then a teaching assistant at the aesthetics department of the Institute of Theater, Fine Arts and Music (1949-1950); editor for the literary programs of Romanian Radio (1948–1952); chief department editor and overall adjunct editor at Editura de Stat pentru Literatură și Artă (1950–1955); editor and adjunct editor-in-chief at Viața Românească (1955–1956) and Gazeta literară (1956–1961); principal editor for a four-language publication meant for foreign audiences, Revue roumaine – Roumanian Review – Rumänische Rundschau – Румынская литература (1962–1977).[1]

In collaboration, he supervised an excellent edition of George Bacovia's works, which appeared as Opere in 1978. He translated Jules Verne's In Search of the Castaways.
