Regina A. Bernard-Carreno is a literary agent with _Ladderbird. Born and raised in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, Regina safeguards a deep, personal passion for her city and all of its history. She holds a PhD in Urban Education, a Master’s Degree in African American Studies, as well as a couple of other graduate degrees. As an academic and writer, she is always drawn to creative projects, whether she is writing or assisting creators as they build their dream projects. An adoration for makery, artisan, made up, sometimes magical and activist, braids together her literary interests with work that is socially just and culturally responsive.

When sheÕs not tinkering with client manuscripts, teaching, reading, hunting through library shelves, and used bookstores, and/or writing, she can be found working on various art projects and thinking about all of the above.
