Rhonda Malomet (Rhonda_M)

I'm a writer and educator with a B.A.A. in Journalism and a M.Ed. in Distance Education. I teach writing and I write to teach. The web is the platform that merges my two vocations.

I taught writing, communications and employment search at several community colleges in Toronto, Ontario for 19 years. In a previous life, I worked as a journalist (the writing bug never really goes away). For more info on the finer points of writing please see my website, http://how-to-write-that.net
