[2117] Ligaya Lopez and the Bonliso Bean part 1 of 4

sci fi

I’m a first-time writer and am writing a sci-fi feel-good story of a young woman who brings the global community to save the world via plant science.

The story is for a competition I’m entering so any and all feedback is welcomed! The prompt is below so please let me know if I’m hitting those points specifically.

Prompt: Help us imagine a positive future enabled by biology. Your words could paint a broad vision of the future, dive into specific details about improving some process, outline a new foundational or applied technology or anything in between that imagines new ways of living sustainably. Novelty: Are the ideas original? Clarity: Does the piece present ideas clearly? Is it well-structured? Does it communicate why the ideas matter? Impact: Would the piece’s vision enable a more sustainable way of life? Could it inspire new technology?

Out side of the prompt, I’d really like to know if the podcast style dialogue is readable, or should it just the MC narrating everything, just tell a story or giving a ted talk? Or try something else?

Also, let me know if any details should be deleted because they are not worth while or boring. I’d like to make the story a little shorter if possible.
