It's such a good idea for teenagers of today, I can't understand why no one is interested.

It's the adventures of a pair of dark-haired teenage twins. The girl is into under-age drinking and the brother is the sensible one.

Together they go through new experiences that would resonate with young people today.

My suggested titles are:

Tipsy and Tom meet the Magistrates.
Tipsy and Tom get an ASBO
Tipsy and Tom get Chlamydia
Red pills, Yellow Pills
The Little Lost Weekend
The New Baby

< sigh >

The rejection slip said something about being "too derivative."

Has anyone got any ideas on how I can get published, or have any other ideas for me?

It's a bit Jacqueline Wilson though, isn't it?
