Scott's demands for changes to Zelda's novel are made and Scott writes to Maxwell Perkins stating "Zelda's novel is now good, improved in every way." However, he went on to ask Perkins to keep any praise of the novel "on the staid side" as he was concerned that Zelda may not be able to cope if the book was too highly praised and turned out to be a failure.

Scott rents La Paix , a 15 room Victorian house at Rodgers Forge, Towson, outside Baltimore, where he writes most of Tender Is the Night. Scott's live-in secretary, Isabelle Owens, shields Scottie from the chaos.

A contract is signed with Scribner's to publish Save Me the Waltz. A clause is added to the agreement stipulating that one half of the royalties earned would be retained by Scribner's to be credited against "the indebtedness of F. Scott Fitzgerald" until a total of $5000 had been repaid.

Zelda is discharged from the Phipps Clinic. She joins the family at La Paix.

Zelda's story A Couple Of Nuts appears in Scribner's Magazine.

Zelda starts work on a farce she intends to call Scandalabra.

Scribner's publishes Save Me The Waltz, with the changes that Scott had demanded. At $2.00 per copy the book was a commercial failure selling only 1,392 copies of its initial printing of 3,010. It earned Zelda $120.73, which Maxwell Perkins sent to her in the form of a cheque on August 2,1933.

Zelda's art is exhibited in Baltimore.
