Greeting Field Daisy,
You and I are in the same boat except that I've been on the planet for over 50 years!.

I have a chance of getting my 1st young adult book published!. It's a family action-adventure fiction work!. I just love it and can't wait to get to the next page as I'm working on it!

I need and agent to help me also find a publisher who will take me on and get it published and "distributed!."

I bought this book (about $30!.00) at "Border's;" Entitled, "Children's, Writer's & Illustrator's market," by Alice Pope, Editor!. It has quite a good listing of publishing companies that you might find helpful!.

Bless you and I wish you the best,

People is their 50s don't get their book published!. You're only 15!. What chance have you got!?

I suggest you send your story to a magazine first and hope it will be published!. If it's long, they can produce it in chapters!.

Look, I'm not saying that you have absolutely no chance!. But it' almost impossible!.

Do you know Roald Dahl!? He was a famous writer who wrote children's books!. He wrote a short story and it was called " How I became a writer" I read it and you know what!?

He said that you can't just become a writer!. You need to have another profession as well!. I mean, you have to be somebody first!. A doctor or something!. Roald Dahl worked in an oil company and as a pilot in Africa!.

You're young so!.!.!. you still have a long way to go!.

If you're lucky enough, you'll get a one year contract when you're 20 or most likely in the 30s or 40s!.

Good Luck!. :)

I really hope you get your dream of getting your book published!. And hey, if it does!.!.!. Just tell me the name!. I'll be he first in line to get it!.!.!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Chaos Queen: I'd LOVE to see the statistics you have backing up your stupid--pardon me, ludicrous--statement that people over 50 don't publish!. Just off the top of my head Mary Higgins Clark, Belva Plain, Maeve Binchy-- women as starters!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
