LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) - Liberty University says bestselling author Karen Kingsbury is becoming a visiting professor for its residential and online programs.

The Lynchburg school founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell says Kingsbury will offer students the secrets to her storytelling and to selling more than 25 million copies of her books.

Officials say the Christian author will contribute to the universitys English and creative writing programs and provide writing curriculum.

Kingsbury is set to visit the campus in February and again in April. Shell also interview Liberty students for her weekday radio program.

Liberty also is working with Kingsbury for a scholarship contest that will award four students each $20,000 toward tuition.

Kingsbury has been a guest of Liberty in recent years and three of her children are current students.
