I wrote 9 books and all of 'em are over 30 thousand words. Should I get them

Position:Home>Books & Authors> I wrote 9 books and all of 'em are over 30 thousand words. Should I get them

Question:

I wrote them all when I was 15!. Now I'm 16 years old!. I don't know if they would accept a girl my age to sign a contract!. I will perhaps publish 'em when I grow 18!. Sounds good!?

I have another question!.

I wrote a children's comic book!. I want to turn it into a screen play!. Can I submit it like a book to the agents or producers!?

I want it to be a show for kidz!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Quality over quantity!.

However, age isn't a factor!. Quality isn't actually hugely important either when first getting them published!. If the market isn't right for your books, they're not going to sell!. Publishers know this - if the market isn't right, they'll toss away even the best manuscripts without a second thought!. It's harsh, but that's the way things work!.

also, nine in one year!? You might want to make sure they're all good!.!.!. (No offense!.) I'd pick the one you think is best and give it to people who will give you their honest opinions - family members, friends and previous teachers are NOT good for this unless one of those people is an avid writer and is willing to be brutally honest!.

Get the latest copy of the Writer's Market, find some agents that specialize in your genre, find out exactly what they want and send the best examples you have to as many agents/publishers as you can!. Be prepared for rejections!. It's very rare to not get into double digits with rejections letters - as mentioned above, it's more luck than talent!.

Good luck getting published! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Length of your work has nothing to do with whether or not you can be published!. Neither does age!. The writer of Eragon was in fact 15 when he published it!. Many writers work on novel after novel their whole lives and never get published, even though their work is excellent!. The most important thing to publishers is whether it is marketable (and well written!.!.!.including spelling and grammar usage)!. This means, if your work is outdated, or the "current trend", you'll have a harder time finding an agent or publisher who will work with you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just because they are long doesn't mean they are good enough to be published!. Many aspiring authors try for years to publish material!. If I were you, to get an honest opinion, I would ask my English teacher and see what she thought!. If she thinks it's good enough, it doesn't hurt to try!. But you really need an honest opnion or you are just going to waste your time and effort and get your feelings hurtWww@QuestionHome@Com

if your books are good and you would read them if you picked them up in a library, then maybe you should try to get them publish!. you can't get hurt by trying, can you!? i don't know where you would try though, or whether they would accept it yet!. but i 'spose if its good, they'll take it!.
i got no idea about your second question try searching the web!?

good luck with ur books!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, at least try to get them published! They may get published, and they may not, but you should at least try!!!

And they let plenty of sixteen year olds sign contracts!. Look at Christopher Paulini!Www@QuestionHome@Com
