In my YA Sci-fi manuscript, CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE CYBORG, getting into a car accident is the second to last thing Maggie Lyons expected on prom night. The last thing she expected? Finding out she's part machine. Even worse, her parents had everything to do with it. She runs away from home, sure the worst that could happen to her is ending up as some doctor's lab rat. But when she meets the others like her, she finds out there's a lot more to be afraid of than winding up under a microscope.

Elevator pitch:
In my young adult, speculative fiction manuscript, fourteen-year-old Scarlett Wood has a serious germ phobia. So when she's drafted by the United American government into their pandemic flu research study at Echo City, she's positive it's a mistake. But when she's forced to participate, she and the rest of the recruits soon realize this is no mere research project. After several draftees die under brutal circumstances, Scarlett forms a desperate plan to escape Echo City, before she becomes another statistic.
