publishing books really young?

One thing you can do is self publish on Amazon by turning it into an e-book. As far as getting it published most big publishers won't publish a book unless the author has an agent. You can go to your local library and ask the librarian to help you find books on getting books published. To find an agent you'll need to do searches online. Now as far as getting it published there's two types of publishers, and pros and cons to each. Type 1 - The Big Publisher like Scholastic or Harper Collins. These publishers have the ability to turn you into a star, but also to ignore your book if they don't consider it the next up and coming thing. This is where an agent comes in, because they can help push your book through and will deal with the publisher for you. Type 2 - Small Local Publishers. Small publishers will give your book lots of attention, but will not be printing your book in bulk quantities because they do not have the money to do so. This means that they will print the book, (maybe 100 copies at a time), get it into bookstores, and then print more as needed. This works well for some authors, especially with the help of Amazon to get people to buy the book. With the e-readers becoming more and more popular like Kindle and NOOK, there has been talk of Publishers getting ready to go belly up because more people are buying e-books now than in-print books. Either way, if you publish a book in paper format or not, you should make sure your book gets put into e-book format. If you do get it into e-book format and stick it up on Amazon or a similar site, be sure to go through and read the e-book version for errors, because sometimes in the process of changing it over to .epub, the text and formatting can go wonky. Good luck, I really do hope you do well in your writing career!

Congratulations on writing your books! You can look online to find publishers or editors. I found publishers that way since I have been wanting to publish a poetry book. Some are more expensive than others and there are different publisher types such as self-publishing which is supposed to be cheaper than bigger more popular publishers. One is Dorrance Publishing which costs $1000s but they have good services for e-books and regular books. Another is booktango which is focused only on e-books and is cheaper and has a free options as well. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck.

my sister has her own book too but of poems. she had them copyrighted, i think you should do that too. in regards to how you can have it edited and published, maybe you can research on the internet or maybe go to you library and ask for some advice. that's what my sister did and then she sent some copies to FL and they made a song using those poems. i don't know what happened next, my sister is in NY and we don't communicate anymore. only her and my family, i am just too busy LOL. so yeah you can research about it. good luck and you should be proud of yourself you have that talent

I'm not a published author and I am working on finding a publisher for myself. I might be able to direct you toward a couple of resources that might be of help. www.writing.com is a great website for aspiring authors. Basic membership is free. I signed up and did a lot of review work on the site. You do get gift points for your work and those can be used to upgrade your membership if you can't afford the upgrade yourself directly. I was originally gifted and upgraded membership and then had enough points to maintain it myself. The other writers there taught me a great deal and I think I am a much better writer because of it. One of my friends there who I worked with is now a published author working on her second book. A second resource I recommend online is Book Junkies on Facebook. They generally want you to be eighteen or older but I do know of an instance where they agreed to make an exception for a young lady in high school who has also written six or seven manuscripts and hopes to make a career out of writing. If you do decide to work with either of those groups, I be delighted to friend you and help out where I can. I'm a busy guy and my grammar and punctuation really suck. Besides that I'm still a nobody in the industry. Best of luck whatever you decide to do.

Research online and find some publishers in your area. Send the book in the format that they want(some will want hardcopy, others on c-d, email..etc.) and send a lot! Usually publishers are looking for certain 'themes' at certain times. You can never know what that is going to be, so you may be turned down one month from one, and then 6 months later they are interested and would like to publish you. Good luck!
