Dr. Charles G. Waugh is a professor of Communication and Psychology at the University of Maine at Augusta. For forty-eight years he has taught on the college level (at Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Kent State University, and the University of Maine at Augusta).
He has a B.S. in Speech from Syracuse University (1965), with English and Economics minors, an M.A. in Social Psychology from Syracuse University (1969), and a Ph.D. in Interpersonal Communication from Kent State University (1982), with a Sociology minor. Both his M.A. thesis (Predictions of Primacy-Recency Effects of Media Based on Sensory-Variation Theory) and his Ph.D. dissertation (An Investigation of Anticipatory Effort and the Gain-Loss Effect in New Dyadic Relationships) were interdisciplinary quantitative experiments investigating relationships between Communication and Psychology.

While most of his publications are commercial anthologies — including 76 with Isaac Asimov – or humorous dictionaries, his scholarly contributions include 2 texts and 3 reference books. Currently, he has one book in press (Pine Tree Pioneers: 20 Tales of Early Mainers) and five accepted for publication (Sailing into Danger: 15 Tales of Adventure, The Rivals of Sarah Orne Jewett, "The Wild Dog of Caucomgomoc" and Others: The Lost Stories of Charles Boardman Hawes, Timber Tina Presents: Great Tales of Lumberjacks and Woodsmen, and Young Mainers: 20 Great Tales of Adventure).
