Hello Harvard Housekeeper #AtoZChallenge

My April 2024 A to Z Challenge blogging theme is to revise a YA novel I've been working on for almost a decade and then generate a new and better query letter to send in the hopes of traditional publication.
I want to publish that way because I believe it will give the book the best distribution, especially in libraries where underrepresented young people could borrow it. The target audience is teenagers who have an incarcerated family member, teens who are treated as outcasts for situations beyond their control, and Latinas preparing for their quinceañera.

Three "h" words in this excerpt are Hello, Harvard, and Housekeeper. Together, they make a kind of catchy title. 

Once Lenore "accepts the call" as they say in the Hero's Journey format, she goes to the set of Teen Writer Season 3. It's set in an actual private school, part of which is being renovated. The contestants are being shown around and stuff. It's basically "B roll," mostly just establishing the setting quickly. 

Not much is revealed about Lenore here, other than perhaps establishing her economic background. 



Feedback is needed! I'm revising, so please make suggestions if you have any. 💗
