publish teenagers is there an age limit?

No, there's never an age limit to being published. S. E. Hinton (The Outsiders) and Christopher Poalini (Eragon) are prime examples. Both wrote their first novels while they were teens.

DO NOT send unsolicited manuscripts to a publishing company. You need, have at least 10 pages available in MS form (double spacing) and a synopsis of the novel plus cover letter to present to an agent. Your cover letter plus your written work should 'sell' the agent on representing you. If an agent agrees then _your parents_ and you will have to meet with the agent and discuss the agreements. You are a minor at law and therefore not old enough to sign legal documents without your parents consent. I know that sucks but it is protection for you--and for your folks.

There might be no age limit, but you better have a team of connections and editors on your side. Publishers only publish what they think will not be a risky venture, if you still want to try it, there are a bunch of great internet publishing sites that customize to what you want. If it later catches the attention of the big guns, then you can go with them.

You can publish & distribute your book independantly through Lulu.com You might have more luck doing it that way. You can have much more control over your own book & it can be distributed through internet sites such as Amazon.com

Age is completely irrelevant.You're on the right track - finish the book, then work on getting it published. Feel free to ask when you've written it.

No, but don't mention your age when you send it out because it might bias their opinion of you. I am an aspiring author myself and will share a few tips I've been giving that make all the difference in the first impression.1. Never ever reuse a manuscript, like if you send one off and it gets rejected don't send the same copy off again, even with paper being so expensive, because editors can tell if a manuscript is 'virgin' (untouched) and the minute they see a manuscript that has been flipped through and read they can tell and it makes them think "oh, someone has already read and rejected this so why should I even bother."2. Your manuscript should be laser printed, double spaced, and unbound for ease or reading for the editor.As a young writer you might qualify for all these scholarships and novel contests they have and depending on the context of your novel try to send books to publishers who publish the type of book you have written.You could also try to get a literary agent before you try a publisher. A good bet for finding one is to read authors notes in your fav books and look for names of their editors and agents. Then address you manuscript to them with a cover letter talking about how you love this certain authors work and noticed that he mentioned them (the editor/agent) so you though they would be a wonderful choice for an agent/editor.Pretty much the only problem with you age is the legality of what you are owed. If you do get a deal you might want to talk to your parents about hiring a lawyer to read any contract you might sign to guarantee your creative rights as a minor.

Just a note to all that has been said. The author of Eragon was a teenager when he wrote and published his book. He was only 21 when it was released as a movie.

You start by querying literary agents. This is done with a one page letter describing yourself and your book. Sometimes the agent will request you include the first few pages or chapters, but that is an individual preference.There are several websites out there that will help you find an agent, my favorite is QueryTracker.net at http://www.querytracker.net/ . It is free and has a list of literary agents and also tools to help you keep track of who you already queried and who you haven't, plus more.They do a good job of keeping the crooks off their lists, but it is still a good idea to double check at http://www.sfwa.org/beware/twentyworst.h...There are a lot of crooks out there. Never pay anyone to read or publish your book. A real agent will never ask for money except as a percentage of your royalties.Keep in mind that finding an agent and getting published is not an easy process. Some people have to query hundreds of agents before they find one who will accept them (sadly, some never get accepted), but be persistent and keep trying.You should also visit http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/,... one of the largest forums for writers. They can be very helpful.Good luck.
