Any novel ideas?!?

I am doing senior project in writing a novel. I just need an idea on what to write. any suggestions on a intresting topic.

Here are the details:

I will have to research how to write a novel. As appropriate, the research might be focused on a specific genre of novel.

I will have to create a proposal to be submitted to a publisher. It will include a one-page summary of the story, a catchy title and hook to get the editor’s attention, three sample chapters from the novel, and an outline that summarizes what happens in every chapter of the novel. Each chapter should be about 2500 words in length. From this proposal, the editor should know the whole story, what genre the novel is, its intended audience, and about the student author.

Also, how do I find a publisher to give my novel to , when I am finished?

I think a “novel” idea for a novel (pun intended) would be something medically related. You could write a book about a soldier returning from war and he has sustained a medical condition warranting special care. His family struggles to cope with his injuries as they struggle to cope with the bureaucratic red tape associated with VA’s benefits. This is such a heart-wrenching subject in real life that many, many people endure. A VA’s institution (medical center, hospital) can provide SO many instances of this terrible tragedy.

As far as finding a publisher, look up the main publishing companies in your city or a metro area close by. They tend to start out small, but they mushroom into bigger conglomerates as you go from Smalltown, U.S.A. to a New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles.

Good luck!
