Regina HigginsI'm a writer and editor with more than twenty years of experience working with writers, publishers, universities, and nonprofits. Along the way, I've been a college teacher, a university administrator, and an outreach director. But most of all, I'm aworker with words. I'm a storyteller.How did I get here?Just after I earned my Ph.D. in English at Indiana University, a friend in Boston called and asked if my husband, Charles (also a Ph.D. in English) and I would like to work with the Nobel Foundation. Well, yes, of course. Before we knew it, we were researching and writing background materials on the Laureates so teachers could include those inspiring stories in their teaching. That experience led to other writing projects with National Geographic Books, Human Relations Media, Glencoe, McGraw-Hill, and Pearson. And I wrote my own book on classic children's literature, Magic Kingdoms, published by Simon & Schuster.When we came to North Carolina, we wrote a social studies textbook for NC State's successful Living in Our World series. Later I served as editor for the second edition, and directed the publishing of an online version. That project drew the attention of NC State's Extension and Engagement office, and soon I was telling the stories of each outreach program on campus, featuring the powerful partnerships they'd created throughout the state. NC State sped that publication out to legislators, the Board of Governors, and funders.Then UNC-Chapel Hill invited me to create a new role as a curriculum and outreach director, connecting the university's resources with classroom teachers. I developed and taught two online courses, wrote online and print guides for including global connections in teaching, and edited a newsletter featuring success stories of schools that had partnered with the university.All the time I've been writing and editing, I've been telling stories. Turns out, it's what I love most. And I can work with you to tell yours, too. Read More Read Less
