My Young Adult Fiction Competition Entry

My friend, who write's fiction. likes my entry to the Fish Young Adult Competition. This gave me the confidence I needed to tweak it and submit it. The novel, which I have called, Daisy and Savitri is multi-cultural. It is not only about two girls from different ethnic backgrounds but also about different economic backgrounds. I never expect to win a competition but can't help hoping Daisy and Savitri has a chance of making the short list, partly because, through the characters, I have shown two teenage girls from different cultures, which I have described, who are firm friends no matter regardless of the twists and turns their lives take.

2nd Opinion of Multi Cultural Competition Entry

I whittled my entry into the young adult fiction competition down to 5,000 words. The novel is multi-cultural. To make sure someone unfamiliar with some of the customs  in the first chapter understood them, I asked another author, who visited my house today, to read the first chapter while we drank tea. He really liked it,  and the hook in the first paragraph intrigued him so much that he wanted to know how the plot would be resolved at the end of the novel. Phew! I felt a little more confident so I edited and revised 2,500 words.
