L.S. Scott: Winter Novel winner 2025
Meet L.S. Scott, winner of our 2025 Winter Novel competition with her entry What Pulls Us Under, which can now be read on our winner's blog page. As part of the prize, we want to promote new writers, and as such we chat to Larissa about her writing journey, aspirations, next steps, and view on the literary landscape.
Learn about Larissa’s strategic path to becoming a full-time author—how she reshaped her life to prioritise writing, even leaving a job that no longer aligned with her creative ambitions. Hear how Larissa draws daily inspiration from the natural beauty of a hidden Florida, writing with intention and persistence, whether she’s published or not.
Get to know Larissa better with our New2theScene presenter and discover how she’s living her best life now: writing every day, researching comparable novels to sharpen her edge, and actively learning from other authors as she embraces the craft she’s always loved.
