Jim Rondeau and his wife, Melody Rondeau ("The Rondeaus") have been editing and publishing fanzines for over 3 decades.

They are a well-known presence at fan-run conventions, offering to agent new and used fanzines for both zine publishers as well as individual fans. See Make It Go Away.

Their digest-sized multi-media fanzine The Clipper Trade Ship ran from 1976 to 1997.

In 1991, the editor of the Quantum Quarterly described her introduction to the Jim and Melody Rondeau: "I met the Rondeaus when we were both working staff at a media convention in San Jose called Timecon. When Star Trek: The Next Generation appeared October 1987, I approached Jim with the idea of a digest-sized newsletter focusing on the actor, Brent Spiner and his character, Data. Within a few weeks we produced the first ST:TNG zine, Data Entries; it's currently up to issue #12 under the expert editorship of Melody." The Rondeaus were also responsible for the assembling and distribution of Quantum Quarterly.
