I suggest you join a Writer's group and work on your skills!. Then look at Writer's Market and read how to submit a book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wholeheartedly agree with the first two answerers: you need to write your book before you start to think about publishing it!.

Then, once it is written, you go about it the same way everyone else does!. I suggest typing "publish a book" in the search bar!. There are a lot of detailed, thought out answers you can read through the search!.

Your age is irrelevant; it is about the writing and whether or not it is able to sell!. Don't divulge your age in any query letters; just let your writing speak for itself (which, might I remind you again, means you need to write it first!. And edit it!. And rewrite!. And edit some more!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

u need to first write the book, have it edited by every person u can think of about a thousand times, then maybe u could get it published, but its still unlikely bcas the teens whose books have been published are probably all extremely extremely smart and have been writing alomst their whole life and do practically nothing else!.!.!. good luck tho :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well first you have to write it!. I wouldn't even THINK about contacting a publisher or an agent until my manuscript was in the best shape possible!.

Write first, publish second!. It's been that way since the dawn of time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Like others have said, first and foremost, you NEED TO WRITE YOUR BOOK!.

Don't think about publishing or anything else until you have thoroughly written, and EDITED your book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
