Nell Woodcock, Associate Editor
Writer, Photographer

Nell lives in Hernando County, Florida where the Weeki Wachee River empties into the Gulf of Mexico at Bayport. Her focus on local history and events has appeared in special sections of the Hernando Today newspaper including Today's Woman. Exciting and awesome. That's how Nell describes the developments that carved out a new Florida during the decades she worked as a reporter. Her news beat carried her up and down the Nature coast which skirts the state's shoreline. She's a native and a history buff who remembers the charm (as well as the drawbacks) of old Florida. As a freelance writer, she spins tales of the state's romance and reminds readers that change, like the thunderstorms in our tropical climate, is inevitable. Vacations in Jamacia, Puerto Rico and the islands of the Carribean provided history and material for adventure stories. Her credits and photographs have appeared as staff writer in The Tampa Tribune and The St. Petersburg Times. Her business stories appeared in the Tri-County Business and Professional Magazine when she was associate editor for that publication.

 

Jeannie Fredrick, Assoc. Editor
Writer

Jeannie Fredrick is fairly new to the writing scene but her enthusiasm is unsurpassed. An avid reader since kindergarten, Jeannie plunged into writing four years ago. She began writing, editing and producing a four-page newsletter for the Glen Lakes Country Club in Hernando County, Florida, where she is currently employed as the Membership/Social Director. The newsletter has grown to 20 pages and is distributed to hundreds of residents and potential home buyers. Jeannie's most recent work was published in The St. Petersburg Times where she was selected as one of six people to write a progressive novel that appeared in the newspaper in December 1995. The experience provided an opportunity to broaden her writing skills, and she continues to develop story lines as a freelance writer. She also maintains an ongoing novel with her writer nephew. When editors of Write On Magazine asked her to contribute a story to Florida's premiere online magazine, she immediately jumped at the chance to start "A Mouse Tale." She believes this outlet will help others stretch their imagination and skills and offer an opportunity to become published in the newest, most exciting mode of electronic communication. Originally from Craig, Colorado, Jeannie lives in Homosassa, Florida with her husband, Larry, and dog, Sara.
