My Book

My book is entitled Just Your Average Genius and (fingers crossed) I will be finding a publisher for it soon.

Just Your Average Genius

        
How would it feel to have world famous, genetically superior, geniuses—literally—for siblings while you alone are simply average? Jane Hightower, feels like she’s been wading in the shallow end of such a gene pool since the day she was born. Nowadays, she’s a 25 year old uptown New Yorker, armed with an IQ of around 110. She lives a privileged life thanks to the wealth and success of her beloved father—an investment whiz. But with all her family’s fortune, Jane has nothing to show on her resume but a famous last name and a string of failed businesses. She finds herself feeling more and more like the family black sheep while her older brothers and sister continue to develop the Hightower family enterprise into a multi-billion dollar corporation.
But one evening, after her father suffers a stroke, Jane is devastated and more determined than ever to make him proud.  She makes one impulsive decision, and finds herself center stage in one of the most prestigious competitions in the city, going head to head with her genius siblings nonetheless. But when the pressure becomes too much for her to bear, she reaches out for help and gets Chance—a handsome but secretive life coach, who’s unconventional yet strangely inspirational. The only catch is, her entire experience has to be filmed for a reality show. Jane isn’t sure she can pull it all off, plus there’s something shady going on in the family business that has her distracted. As the night of competition draws nearer, Jane is slapped in the face with the reality that not only will the outcome decide her entire future, but it will be up to her to save her family’s as well.

You asked for some feedback on the Writer's Digest site.

What you have here is back cover copy, not a full synopsis. Grab a copy of Randy Ingermanson's Fiction Writing for Dummies.

The story sounds really interesting.

You will find a wealth of help there. If you want fuller feedback from me, just click on my name for a link.
