How can I get published at such a young age?

I am only 14 years old right now, and am in the middle of writing a book. I have written through a few other books (none I have wanted to really publish) but this time around, I'm highly interested in-once finished; getting my book published. It's a fiction fantasy type book with a target audience of teenagers. I plan/hope to turn it into a full blown series of books. I have been writing most of my life and have always dreamed of publishing a book(s). I also, live in a very small town which doesn't have the resources of a city. So, how can I achieve my dream and where can I find some places that will help me publish my book and take me seriously for a low cost? Any advice for getting into this publishing? All advice/help is very welcome and appreciated.

Have been writing most of your life? When are so young yourself!


Sorry to say, but publishers are very reluctant to accept works by such young authors. And by what we read they are reluctant to accept any work what so ever.


Perhaps you should get your writing checked by some expert, I am sure they will be something to corect and ammend. employ an editor to look into it....





Best of Luck!

But anyway, my advice is that you can either email/somehow contact a favorite author of yours to give you advice. They're already in the biz, its worth a shot to ask them questions. When I was sort of pursuing publishing at a young age, I also asked my English teachers for help since they might know some good resources.





Other than that, search in google. I brought up a bunch of websites once that said they'd publish your work online or something...I don't remember.





Anyway, good luck and I hope I helped!
Reply:You need to finish the book first. You're in the middle, and I'm guessing that means you're writing the first draft. You live in a small town, but does it have a good library, or is there a good library nearby? Look up some books on revision and editing and get your book done before anything else. (The writing books will be around the 808... area in the non-fiction section, and the newest "Writer's Market" will probably be in reference).


For now, study all the books you can find. Since you're still in school, see if you can contribute to the literary magazine (or start one). Look for writing scholarship contests.
Reply:You should share it piecemeal at an online writers group and see what edits and responses you get first. Getting involved with such a group will also put you in the box with others who can more readily answer this question. Check out the links below:
