Penny Carnathan, The Tampa Tribune's assistant features editor, has received a first-place award for narrative feature writing in the American Association
of Sunday and Feature Editors' 19th annual writing competition.
Carnathan wrote her winning story, 'Something
Beautiful in Her Wake,' about Susan McGovern, a Tampa woman who organized her own 'living wake' when she learned she was dying of cancer.
Religion writer Michelle Bearden received an honorable mention in the general feature writing category for her profile of 87-year-old William George Mosley of Tampa.
The awards, in the 175,001 to 300,000 circulation category, were handed out Thursday at the AASFE convention in Savannah, Ga.
