Tonya Engst co-founded TidBITS with Adam Engst back in 1990. TidBITS is an electronic newsletter and Web site about all things Macintosh that was the first Internet publication to have a sponsorship/advertising revenue model.
Along with performing nearly every imaginable role involved in running TidBITS, Tonya has worked at Cornell
University’s academic computer store (selling Macs, PCs, and NeXTs), done technical support at Microsoft, authored and co-authored several books, written oodles of articles for the likes of MacWEEK and Macworld, and edited many books about technology.
She has consistently advocated for the person behind the personal computer, working to make technical writing easy to understand. In 2003, she found her dream job as editor-in-chief of TidBITS Publishing’s Take Control series of ebooks.
