Writing Portfolio for Michelle Wojdyla

Whether it is an in-depth magazine cover feature on an Olympic champion, a profile on a top skater, a 5-W story for the sports section on a competition, or a review of a professional tour, writing about figure skating is a challenge I relish.

My articles regularly appear in the magazines Blades On Ice and U.S. Figure Skating's SKATING and their website, usfsa.org.  I have also worked for Spotlight on Skating, American Skating World, and 6.0 Skate.  Newspapers include the Birmingham News and the Birmingham Post-Herald. The United States Olympic Committee has also published articles I have written on the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. 

Here are some samples of my work:
