Fannaly received recognition for her poetry at two Jambalaya Writer's Conferences and has been published in the Mississippi Gulf Coast Writer's Magnolia Quarterly publications. Her works have appeared in newspapers and other publications. She placed first in poetry at the 7th Annual Berries, Bridges and Books Writer's Conference held in Ponchatoula.
