Short Story

Title: Social Status

Author: Katie Olssen

Genre: Teen Issues

Pages: 5

Mentor texts: I didn’t get the idea from anything specific. But I got the idea from books I have read and some TV shows such as “Lizzie McGuire” and “Hannah Montana”. In both of these shows there is an average or nerdy kid that is getting over ruled by the popular kids. I just made my own story based off of these overview ideas.

Audience: Girls ages from 11-15

Writing process: I first started to brainstorm to get just my thoughts on paper. After that I started putting a story together. I did 2 Drafts soon after that. So now I have a total of 3 drafts.

Publishing process: So far I have only published it online on a website called sendstory.com. Here I submitted my short story and people will read over it and give me some feedback.
