ABOUT STEPHANIE HAYES
I’m Stephanie, a columnist for the Tampa Bay Times focusing on Florida life, culture, current events and anything on the spectrum of absurd to mundane. My column is nationally syndicated by Creators Syndicate. I was named best columnist in Florida by the Florida Society of News Editors and have a first place National Headliner Award in addition to honors from the Society for Features Journalism, the Green Eyeshade Awards, the Florida Press Club and more. Before starting my column in 2020, I was a senior editor at the Times and edited an investigation that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. I’ve written two books, Be Serious, an essay collection published by Creators, and Obitchuary, a novel. My writing has appeared in Chicago Quarterly Review, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Boudin, Saw Palm and Bodega. I attended the Yale Writer\'s Workshop with a focus on fiction and have taught non-fiction craft and leadership skills in and outside the newsroom. I’m a University of South Florida graduate and live in Pinellas County with my family and five-pound Pomeranian, Rocket.
