Linda Sittig is a writer based near Chapel Hill, N.C., born in New York City and raised in New Jersey. As an adult, her roots grew deep into Virginia and North Carolina. She holds B.A. in History and a Masters Degree in Reading.

An educator of merit for 36 years in both public schools and Shenandoah University (VA), Linda has numerous published articles on family literacy, a fifteen-year weekly newspaper column on community literacy, a blog on strong women currently followed in 64 countries and five published books.

Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and other publications. Linda was named the Greater Washington Reading Council Teacher of the Year, the Virginia State Reading Association Teacher of the Year, and the International Elementary Language Arts Teacher of the Year.

Believing every woman deserves to have her story told, she is drawn to write books about strong women and brave girls.

Linda’s newest book, Opening Closed Doors, is a children’s book. She shares the surprising story of Josie Murray, an unsung hero of the early Civil Rights Movement who fought to end segregation in her public library in Virginia.

Because of her books and Strong Women, she is an often-requested speaker for book clubs, history groups, and civic organizations.
