Garvita | 4 comments Hey people. I am a new writer starting with my first book. Here are the details:

Title / Working Title: Envy

Genre: High School / Young Adult Romance

Word Count: ~34,000 words (Novella length)

Blurb: The girl Nora is a new comer in the Florida high school and the first day itself she meets the all favourite boy of the school, Stephen. They begin on a wrong foot but the tension never ends until the end.

Format: Word Doc

What I’m Looking For: Feedback on romantic chemistry, pacing, and overall reader impressions.

Contact: Reply to this thread or send me a Direct Message if interested!

Thank You

Vera Mercer | 10 comments Garvita, the basic tension is clear, but the blurb would be stronger if it named the specific incident that puts Nora and Stephen on the wrong foot and what keeps them in each other's orbit. Those two details would give readers a more vivid reason to care about their chemistry before requesting the manuscript.

Garvita | 4 comments Thanks Vera for the feedback. I didn't want to reveal the plot here but they come across each other more often as they study in the same high school and have a few common classes and activities and slowly the hate for each other turns to affection as for a young girl and boy does, when they just couldn't get each other out of their minds and orbit.
