I have a 50,000 word multicultural novel set in Kolkata. Here's a blurb:
Three years ago, WG's mother hung herself
Two years ago, she fell in love with the coolest boy in school.
Three months ago,three boys raped an innocent girl in broad daylight.
One-and-a-half months ago, WG got accepted into one of the most prestigious colleges in the country.
These seemingly disconnected events constitute a WG's entire life. A girl who moved to the wild, idiosyncratic city of Kolkata to start over but soon realized it was no place for the faint-hearted. Now she must stumble through her new life. Occasionally she will jump over loneliness and cultural shock; sometimes stop to understand people who claim to die if they don't get fish; amble through narrow streets and discover the charm of the city, run away to escape her idiosyncratic roommates. Over the course of one year, the four factors that shaped her life will come to form one story, and story whose ending WG will decide.
If anybody is interested, please let me know via email. My ID is shreyonti@gmail.com. You can also PM me or leave a comment here. Thank you in advance for any help offered. Writers truly are helpless without beta readers.
