Next 9

Ana Paula Tediosi

Ana Paula Tediosi was born in Brazil and grew up in Svitzerland, in Bellinzona. After studying pharmacy at the University of Geneva, she moved to Zurich, where she works and lives with her husband and two children. Active member of the acomunity of professional women in Zurich, she is part of a feminist NGO and runs a blog that deals with issues related to working mothers.

Four stories, four people who know nothing about each other, while sharing the walls of the same building, which contains not only episodes of everyday life but also a universe of solitude and missed opportunities.

Andrea, a broken-hearted cook; Jessica, a career woman looking for the perfect man; Philipp, handsome boy and gymman who does not want to settle down; Antonio, a melancholy elder man who survives with memories.

One day, the three young tenants meet and decide to leave together for the summer holidays. What they will live will be an unexpected, intense, passionate and overwhelming experience, at the end of which nothing in their lives will be more like before.

(Next 9 is the name of the building where the characters are living. The 3 young people will have a tree side relationship during beach holidays and when back they will explore the possibility to continue like that.)

English speaker Women from 20 to 50 who usually read romance.

A first version has been created but I'm not happy with (see anajustana.com). I would like something more eye catching, with big and bold fonds for the title, maybe something remembering the building or the 3 main characters (2 girls and one guy). Impression of summer with bright colours.
