Adele Woodyard has been an award-winning writer/photographer since she began freelancing as a generalist in 1989. A member of ASJA, her several hundred articles have appeared in over 75 magazines, newspapers, inflights, and online, to date. They include such national publications as Delta SKY, Backpacker, Truck Trend, Sailing, WildBird, and Civil War Times Illustrated, among others.

She wrote a column on Florida travel that ran from Jan. 1992-May, 1995 in a senior magazine. Her feature articles are published in several RV magazines and such newspapers as St.Petersburg Times, the Miami Herald, Providence Sunday Journal, and Chicago Sun-Times, to name a few. Adele wrote the manual and held classes for adults on travel writing for several years. Subjects for her articles include gardens, education, volunteers and wildlife, as well as Tampa Bay small businesses and law enforcement, for national and local consumer and trade publications. Creating advertising and sales copy, and writing instruction manuals in layman's language for a manufacturing company, are part of her journalistic background.

Although non-fiction is her major output, Adele has sold an occasional short story and finished one book, a yet-to-be-published mystery. She is currently working on a suspense novel.
