The purpose of this project was to demonstrate usage of the criteria important in writing an adolescent novel. My main effort with this project was to write something that was both educational and entertaining.To prepare this novel, I discussed my subject with people in the fields of medicine and psychiatry. I also used several books and articles relating to the experience of adolescent depression.By the time I completed the work, I felt that I had designed something that displayed my knowledge of adolescent literature, and something that was very entertaining as well as education. The manuscript was sent to Farrar, Straus, and Giroux in April, 1988.In preparation for submitting the work, I followed standard guidelines for manuscripts as outlined in Writer’s Market and as recommended by workshop advisors.My conclusions from this project are that I feel very satisfied that Dancing In The Dark is an encouraging, interesting piece of contemporary literature for adolescents. / Department of English
