• Jacksonville attorney Mary Bridgman continues to flourish in her career as a writer. She recently received two “Royal Palm Literary Awards” from the Florida Writers Association (FWA) for her entries, “Snakes Alive” and “Growing up without Ken.” Both won first place for unpublished short story and published creative nonfiction, respectively. The literary competition is a service of the FWA established to recognize excellence in members’ published and unpublished works while providing blind, objective, and constructive written assessments for all entrants. FWA is a statewide nonprofit trade association with about 1,000 members.
