How can a teenager be taken seriously by a publishing company?
I’m barely thirteen years old and working on my first novel. I haven’t gotten very far into the plot yet, but once I’m finished I would like to get it published. My only problem: how can a publishing company take a teenage girl’s book seriously?
I love to write, and I would love to become an author one day. My librarian gave me a list of publishing companies but they’re all magazines and no book publishers.
Where should I go to get the book published and how can I be taken seriously?
If your writing is good, it will speak for itself. But, people don’t
sell books directly to publishers. Literary agents do.
In this modern world where writing is a business, publishers do
not have time to read unsolicited manuscripts from the public.
They have literary agents that they work with, whom they trust
to only submit books that are worth their time reading and editing.
My first suggestion is for you to get a copy of a book called the
2009 Writer’s Market (or 2008, or 2007, whatever you can find).
It lists agents and the types of books they are interested in, and how you can get an agent. It also has very valuable information about some publishers who will look
at unsolicted manuscripts, including books and magazines, the types of items they want, and it gives you the format for how to structure your submission. Very valuable stuff for any writer to know.
So, basically, you age won’t matter if you work is good enough.
Good Luck~
