Hi! I'm a new writer, and a new user to this forum. My name is Maddy by the way. I've been coming up with a plot for a novel, and I was wondering if you would be interested in reading something like this. Here is the synopsis that I have so far: "A woman rescues her best friend from her an abusive relationship with boyfriend. The woman is a lesbian. The battered best friend
is bi (she had a brief and unsuccessful relationship with a woman, but has since dated this abusive boyfriend). During the course of her recovery, the battered woman is withdrawn and depressed. However, her best friend (the one who's a lesbian) tries to ensure her that life will get better for her again. After a few months of commencing a long and difficult emotional recovery, the battered woman begins to realize that she's much happier with this woman, instead of her ex-boyfriend."


If I sent a copy of the first fifteen pages via an email attachment, would you be interested in reading something like this? This isn't a fantasy novel. It's more of a romance/drama novel. I'm trying to make the characters as believable and relatable as possible. This is my first draft of my novel, so it may not be as great of a story at first. If I could share my first draft with you via email, would you like to leave comments on how I'm progressing so far?

Thank you! :)

Maddy, welcome to the boards. This isn't so much my kind of story but I'm certain it will find a beta reader or two -- and probably a strong audience in the future. Good luck!
