Writing Vraag

Can teenagers write novels? Help!

I am 13 years old and I have almost completed a 50 thousand word manuscript for a novel. It only struck me this morning that, even though my writing is better than most adults, my age might put publishers and agents off. Is it possible for a teenager to get a book published? of should I wait a few years before trying?

Of course it's possible for u to be published. Lots of authors were published as teens: Christopher Paolini, Amelia At-Water Rhodes (who was your age, 13, when she published her first book), Walter Farley, Mary Shelly.

Waiting is entirely up to you. Although, personally, if u feel you're ready now, I don't see u having a lot to loose door throwing your manuscript out there.

Well, my 15th birthday is at the end of August, and I'm working a couple of boeken at the moment. My English teachers say that I definitely have a knack for writing. I was the best writer in my eighth grade class, and I think I might have a shot. That's what I wanna do when I'm done with school, too

I think any publisher would be impressed that u have a fifty-thousand word manuscript. Just because you're 13 doesn't automatically make it impossible for u to publiceer a book. I have a friend who had a book published when she was 14. I say u should go for it! Age is but a number.

Of course! I read a (published) novel written door a 14 jaar old not too long ago! There should be no problem, as long as the story is well-written, well-developed, interesting and with deep characters :D So go for it! :)

Of course they can. Anyone can. I think your age won't matter (haha, I'm not much older xd), and even if you're not succesful, don't give up, but work on your novel, improve, and try again. If u know it's worth it, then it is. <3

Definately. My parents and grandparents have always zei nothings impossible give it a go and see what happens if u fail u have nothing to be ashamed of as u have had a go. So yes go and see what happens and if u manage it come back here and tell us all about it. Its something I have dreampt of doing for years but I have never had the cash and so far none of my stories are finished. GOOD LUCK
