What is a scene’s turning point, why do you need it, and how do you write it? How do turning points help you with your scene’s pacing and determine the scene’s most important moment? Helping us answer these questions is author Henriette Lazaridis.
Henriette Lazaridis’ second novel Terra Nova comes out from Pegasus Books on December 6. Her debut novel, The Clover House, was a Boston Globe bestseller and a Target Emerging Authors pick. Her work has been published in such publications as Elle, Forge, Narrative Magazine, The New York Times, New England Review, The Millions, and Pangyrus, and has earned her a Massachusetts Cultural Council Artists Grant. Henriette received degrees in English literature from Middlebury College, Oxford University, where she was a Rhodes Scholar, and the University of Pennsylvania. Having taught English at Harvard, she now teaches at GrubStreet in Boston. She was the founding editor of The Drum Literary Magazine and runs the Krouna Writing Workshop in northern Greece.
