Welcome to ‘On Point’

My name is Shari Lopatin, and I'm the writer of On Point. Here, you’ll find emotionally nuanced personal and political essays, serialized fiction, and poetry about life, culture, and social issues, often with a journalistic flair. I am, after all, a former journalist who now writes novels.

If you’re looking for something deep, something real, something that gets into the grays of big issues and big questions, you’ve come to the right place. If you enjoy getting swept away in a story and wondering what will happen next, you’ll get hooked on my serialized fiction.
