1. Back Wards
A woman’s struggle to save her own sanity
A Proposal by
Kelly Helen Thompson
2900 University Square Dr. #39
Tampa FL, 33612
The Idea
I was going through a bad break up. Morning the man I loved. I started writing, a similar
story basing it on my own personal experience. The more I wrote the more I
realized how much I could help people. If I wrote my mishaps on paper perhaps I
could prevent others from making the same mistakes I did. Be careful in dating,
how you treat people. Weather you be friend, family or foe, be good to others.
When another does wrong you, there’s no need for revenge, in the end they will
destroy themselves. If you want to grow you must forgive. Never give up. I wrote
this book in a way that people could understand and relate. Made it entertaining in
humor, despite the babbling there is a good to every bad. And a point to the story,
a morale, It is a novel based on true events, made fictional, has humor and shows
creativity with a bit of comedy. Even with tears there is a little laughter.
The Market
Is there a market for Backwards? There are a lot of people who have gone through
similar situations. Men and woman devastated by a break up. Remembering the
good and the bad times, by reaching out to people in a more entertaining way will
keep the audience reading. Make them want to find out what happens next. I give
the public what they want in hopes that they may get something out of it.
The Competition
There probably are other books out there dwelling on the human heart. Talking
about people who have mental dilemmas, that, your actions do bare consequences,
that we can change our behaviors, these are some of the subject’s backwards
focuses on. As well as the unknown world around us.

4. The Author-
I was always told to be a writer, yet am a jack of many trades. I act, sing, dance,
But was always told that I should write books, I’ve won poetry contests, and gotten some
poems published. And my first Book “Just Kelly” is being sold at publishamerica.com
I went to Madison Area Tech collage. Lived in a lot of different places, but currently
reside in Florida, acting and writing.
