Best known as a pen name used by Edward Stratemeyer, this byline appeared on romance and adventure fiction published for popular readers in the late 19th century. It is closely linked with fast-moving stories written for periodicals and inexpensive books.

by Edna Winfield
Edna Winfield was a pseudonym used by American writer and publisher Edward Stratemeyer, the creator of enormously popular series fiction and the founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Under this name, he wrote stories aimed more toward romance readers, including work that appeared in publications such as the New York Weekly and the Chicago Ledger.
One of the best-known books published under the name is The Little Cuban Rebel; or, A War Correspondent's Sweetheart. The Edna Winfield byline shows a different side of Stratemeyer's writing career, separate from the juvenile adventure series he became famous for.
Because Edna Winfield was a pen name rather than a separate public figure, a portrait of Edward Stratemeyer is used here as the closest available image connected to the author name.
