Book Writing Basics : How to Become an Author

[saleha250]

This title is very misleading. I was expecting advice on how to publish once you have a manuscript, this is advice on how to begin and find the confidence in writing.

i am 11 and my teacher says i have the most amazing vocabulary so i chose my path as an author :)

[luckylucy1001]

Can you still get published if your young (13-16 years old)?

[Dangalyssa125441]

@luckylucy1001 Yes. It IS harder to get a book published so young though because of the finances, finding a publisher who could do it, how long it woul take, etc.

Wait so I have to go to book signings and sign my book before writing it?

[msmelanie1]

I'm distracted by the weird book in the background. Are those three fish? The middle one looks like it could be a turtle...I think it would have been better without all the brightness from that book in the background.

Lots of very interesting and thought provoking words here. But she speaks too fast; she needs to let the viewer absorb what she's saying.

[ColbyKang]

I write whenever i feel like it, when i do i write a lot. You do not need a goal. I do it without goals and become highly sucsessful!

[lkkjsd]

Looks like a very nice lady! Thanks for the positive words!

[Elemarth]

Why is it so difficult to imagine it? I imagine it all the time.

[NummyCookie]

This is what I want to do when I grow up. It has been since like 2nd grade. At my school they started really cracking down on us... Asking us what we want to do: I'm sure now (:

[zandraz1]

My motivation to start writing books just got rejuvinated. Thanks for the enthusiasm and positive information.

Hey guys I'm a writer, got a new story I'm working on, only a few pages! Anyone care to evaluate it for me? Message me please, appreciate it.

[Zayahsan]

Oh, and am I the only one who thinks she has a script? She keeps looking to my right her left

[Nightwolf1775]

@Zayahsan I agree she probably does have a script lol

[Zayahsan]

I'm 10 going into 5th grade and been writing stories since I could write. People say I have a gift, am I too young to write a book? Like a legit published young adult book

[asetisis]

@Zayahsan No, you are not too young. There are many successful young writers out there. The author of the Eragon series was only fifteen. You might get turned down a lot but if you're serious about writing then keep at it. Don't let anyone discourage you.

[sasorinodanna13]

i started writing books when i was on 1st year high school

[pusnjak]

im 22 and considering changing a carreer path. Is this to late to become a writer

[ShainChain]

@pusnjak Definitely not. You can become an author even if you're 90.

[HippyAngel001]

Thankyou for this, it really helped me to get tips on writing my story too. =D

[Shockstorm59]

I wanna become an author badly.

[TheMsbellacullen]

[MagnusRulerHardt]

Yes, you can publish a book at any age. You have to pay taxes and get accepted, and that is hard though.

[wolfgurl831]

Writing the book and finding the publisher is easy compared to getting an audience outside friends and family....
