 Workshop:
Creative Freelancing
Friday, August 7, 9:45 a.m.
It's been more than three decades since her haiku about tulips was published in her class' poetry book, but Kerry Speckman gets a thrill every time she sees her byline. And with 20 years of experience as a professional writer, she's seen plenty of them. Her work has appeared in Southwest Spirit, AAA Going Places, Fodor's Florida and Caribbean Ports of Call and the Zagat Walt Disney World Insider's Guide and World's Top Hotels, Resorts and Spas, as well as on About.com and AOL. Prior to becoming a full-time freelancer, she worked in a variety of professions including public relations specialist, legal assistant, elementary school teacher and mental health counselor, where she gained plenty of fodder for The Hooky Book. The tongue-in-cheek "reference book" has been featured in The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle and Men's Health and landed her a spot on the nationally-syndicated game show "To Tell the Truth." When she's not playing hooky herself, Kerry is a contributing writer for Jacksonville Magazine and writes a blog called The Specktator.
