Separated By The Wall

In the year 2047, the crime rate was at an all time high in the world. Most of these crimes were being done by the lower class citizens. Overtime the upper class had grown to despise the lower class for several reasons and they felt that if somehow the entire lower class were to be wiped out that their world would be a better place. They started taking their jobs and slowly replacing them with robots. While the lower class is losing all of their employment opportunities, they are having to fight to find the resources to stay alive. This becomes even harder when the government decides to build a wall between the classes to separate them. Jarred, who is at the top of his father’s company is in love with a girl from the lower class, Josie, who is his former employee. While trying to fight to stay together upon all of the obstacles and the building of the separation wall, we are taken along a romantic thriller.

Additive Comprehension: You learn of a couple’s complicated love story living on opposite sides of the wall. Another point of view of the destruction this is causing.

Target Market: Women ages 18-29

Medium: Novel

Why it works for this medium: I feel like this is a great medium for the story because this is the demographic that reads the most, so they are able to experience the story as a whole on multiple platforms. A study by Publishing Technology found that millennials living in the U.S. are almost twice as likely to read a print book as an e-book.

 Platform: Book

 Why it works in this platform: Studies show that people between 18 and 29 are more likely to read than their elders. And women are also more avid readers than men, according to the survey. 64% of ladies read at least one book in 2012, compared to only 45% of men who read a book within the year.
