ELWS Student Interviews Author and UMD Alum Kelly Florence

ELWS Student Rachel Carroll has published an interview with author and UMD alum Kelly Florence in the latest edition of NorthWords, the newsletter of Lake Superior Writers.

Florence’s upcoming book, with Meg Hafdahl, The Science of Alfred Hitchcock, is expected to be published in August of 2025. Following her pattern of a scientific analysis of famous horror films, this book focuses on the biographical and scientific aspects of Hitchcock’s most iconic works.

According to Florence, “Because the number of horror films we could write about was vast, there is plenty of content we will continue to write about in the future.”
