2003-06-01 [Mitul]: Hmm... it seems that I'm the only one signed up... no matter :) I can have you all to myself :) So... do I jusst ask questions? Well, I was just wondering... Is it possible to get published at a young age? I know, I know, it's really, REALLY rare, but I was just thinking...?

2003-06-01 [User deleted]: Of course it is. It is rare because real talent is rare and because publishers seem to be a bit suspicious and afraid to put something out that doesn't fit in the market. The other option, doing the publishing yourself is even harder at a young age.

2003-06-01 [Mitul]: Yeah, they're just afraid of change, that's all it really is, I think. I mean, I've been told that my stuff is really good, and personally, when I look at my work, I really think that it's really good! I hope I don't sound conceited or anything... hey, would you take a look at my Demonslayer series? It's on my Wyvern's shelf, you can get to it from my house. Tell me if I'm just being stupid, and have no chance whatsoever, or if it's actually worth something... so far, that is. I'd really appreciate it. I'm only asking cause there's no one else here, lol.

2003-06-01 [User deleted]: There is always a chance, whatever people may say. And later on, I'll try and put on a thing about writing to agents and publishers. I haven't got anything published, but I have written my share of letters.

2003-06-02 [Mitul]: well, that'd be great :) A lot of times, the publishers won't accept anything that's not from an agent. Now THAT's just plain annoying...

2003-06-06 [Lozzenger2]: I think theres some legal issues involved if you're under 13. But yeah it's hard to get published, just try sending off your work without telling them how old you are! Muahaha

2003-06-06 [Mitul]: lol, well, I'm 14 in any case, so I guess I'm good :) Who am I supposed to send it to anhow...?
