Rita Feutl
Writer, editor, presenter and author of books for kids and teens
BIO
Born in Toronto to immigrant parents, Rita learned English once she started school. She wrote her first story when she was seven.
As a journalist, Rita has interviewed cabinet ministers, opera singers and zookeepers, which is how she said hello to an elephant by "shaking" its tongue. She has taught journalism techniques in Tanzania, English grammar in Europe and creative writing across Alberta.
She has a BA in political science from the University of Toronto, an MA in journalism from Western University and a post-graduate diploma in teaching English as a second language from the University of Alberta.
Rita lives in Edmonton where she writes books for kids and teens. Favourite things? Biking, travelling, chocolate and paper engineering (to make pop-up cards). And stories. Because it's always about the story.

You can also catch Rita on her regular Facebook page. And that's all the social she does, because she's busy writing or chatting with readers.
