This creative project includes five chapters of an original novel, sufficiently polished for submission to a publisher, plus a plot summary and a specific plan for marketing the novel. The novel was written in. a style utilizing the detailed and factual approach called "the new journalism." Though the story is entirely fictional, the writer employed the "saturation research" that is characteristic of the new journalism to make the story both realistic and plausible.The plan for marketing the novel explored various avenues of approach and proposed a specific plan for, first, getting an agent, and if that fails, finding a publisher. It outlined a philosophical approach to the problem that is based partly on information found in Writer's Market and other books on publishing, partly on the writer's professional experience and partly on advice she obtained from people she knew through her work in New York City. It dealt particularly withproblems a first-time novelist is likely to encounter.
