Regine

Regine Kipperberg is a retired educator and literary advocate who has spent a lifetime in passionate pursuit of language, literature, and the occasional well-placed semicolon. She has wrangled high schoolers and university students alike through the labyrinths of English language and literature, writing, and German as a foreign language—proving that grammar can, in fact, be exciting (or at least non-lethal).

She earned her MA in English Language and Literature from Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, where she wrote a linguistic thesis titled “English Relatives—Historical and Modern.” Yes, she willingly researched relative clauses. For fun. She also holds a BA in Liberal Arts with majors in English, German, and History—because choosing just one would have been too easy.

As a former contributing editor for 94 Creations and Iris Brown, Regine has a sharp eye for writing that bridges cultures and lived experience. She champions work that is thoughtful, resonant, and courageously authentic—and she has little patience for prose that tries too hard. Her editorial style blends rigor with warmth, an ear for rhythm, and a deep respect for the quiet power of well-told stories.

After many years in the United States, she now lives in British Columbia’s South Okanagan Valley with her husband, Björn, and Finnigan the Havanese, who runs the household. When she’s not reading, editing, or mentally correcting apostrophes in public signage, she can be found playing tennis, plotting her next chess move, or knitting something far more complicated than it needs to be.
