Stephanie Dunn-Withers

Hi, I'm Stephanie Dunn. I'm an aficionado of Truman Capote, 50s flicks, and a good Dark and Stormy. Now that we've established the basics, a bit about my professional background:

I'm a freelance culture writer and the Social Media Strategist for Bobby Flay. I earned my first byline as a newspaper columnist before penning lifestyle articles for national publications that ran the gamut from The Huffington Post to Hustler Magazine. Now, I'm a contributing writer for Ocean Drive Magazine, where I cover all things culture, style, dining and spirits.

Most recently, I won StandardCulture.com's "Dog Days of Summer" flash fiction writing contest, and a freelance travel writing gig with OpenPlaces.com (which, thankfully, helps quell a serious case of wanderlust). I guest lecture regularly on writing and digital communication at the University of Miami, and am a panel creator and moderator for Social Media Week.
