    my question to you is, when you where 14 and when that idea first poped into your head, did you ever amagin getting it published?? did you think it was possible? did it seem so far away? and when you chased it it just got father into the distince, like a rainbow? cause thats how i feel now, and if thats hhow you felt, then i have hope that i can be where you are now.

  • Old video, but the excited joy of accomplishment still shines bright. So glad for you.

    You are, in this video, where I want to be someday. (Manuscript finished. Fine tuning and sending out query after query. Onward!)

  • I'm doing my book right NOW! :)

  • Omg cool

  • what size is your book? (the dimensions?)

    Because I was looking into self publishing my book and your book size looks good.

    Do you think that size would look good if the book had 800 pgs?

  • I love writing and I haven't read the other books from this series and I only read the first book but can someone give me a sneak peak on who Bran's dad is if there is more info on it on the other books in the series?

  • I'm in the middle of writing my rough draft for my first novel. I've had some ideas for books and even wrote pieces of books up until now but I'm actually finishing what I've wanted to do for years, so I can imagine how happy you are. I will definitely buy a copy. You are an inspiration to me. Please keep writing!! We young writers need to stick together :)

    I am a young book writer! You are now one of my allies! I hope I'm like you when I'm older! I have been writing children's books for three years now! I use a lot of exclamation points!

  • AAH! Congratz! I am SO buying it!

  • Wow that is really cool... congrats:).

  • in old days books were written by men of letters and read by the public. nowadays books are written by the public and read by nobody.

  • Hello, first off all, congratulations! Secondly, did you pay for it too be published, or did they play you?

  • @secondfed Thanks! They paid me. It was published by Sourcebooks and Scholastic in the US, Canada and the UK. There are some other publishers for countries outside.

  • Hello again! TheSnowyIce is my old account. I just wanted to say I found your novel on my new Kindle Fire just now. Sweet. :]

  • The person below me want's a post card.

  • hey my name is emery i would like a post card

  • Also your novel looks really cool and actually I'll look for it in my school library, if not at the book store. I'll tell you what I think of it sooner or later. ;]

  • As authors, our books are just like our babies. They're our hopes and dreams and even our life stories manifested in poetic form. For example, I'm transgender, so I'm writing a novel about two transgender kids, one a boy and one a girl meeting and growing up together. I feel that there are hardly any books that cover this topic well enough. I want to make it really mature but also you can't help but have fun with it, whatever it is you write about. You're an inspiration to me. btw I <3 Owl City.

  • i swear to god i saw your book in my schools library!

  • OMG!!! I am sooo happy for you Kaleb!

  • How about telling us what the books about, then I'll pre-order it... -.-

  • @HotMovieMakerGirl123 just watch his other videos, or look it up.....

  • I think I would cry.

  • I SAW THAT BOOK AT MY SCHOOL LYBARY ON THE FLOOR! And I kicked it.. Then I put it in the rong section I think.. XD Im jk, but I swear, I saw that cover before.

  • @spellingerror2000

    You really live up to your name! xD (Please understand that this is a joke xD)

  • @TheCGIMaster Lol, my computer was lagging more then a snail's speed. So to save time I said LYBARY. Plus, naming yourself gives you an excuse to spell stuff incorrectly!

  • i want to read that book. you have enspired me to write my own novel

  • @swrobinson100 Hey, me too! But then I gave up.. But then you inspired ME! [That would be funny if I inspired you by inspiring me.]

  • Where or who did you get your book published by? and what company?

  • WHAT?!?!?!? YOUR THE AUTHOR!

    Cuase I have this book!

    And now i feel bad rhat i havent read it....

  • Wow! you're awesome...Such an inspiration!!!! my teacher actually has you're book!!! :D

  • my book is kind of like "The Last Apprentice" or Harry Potter.

  • sell some

  • i would feel like him. That would be awsome publishing your own book.

    His cover is pretty cool

  • I have just started a book on Insomnia, It's not the same thing-well maybe- as Stephen Kings, I am 13, making a story about a man who goes insane, started to see things, the people he love seem to attck hime, He goes around murdering people he thought tried to murder him. I have only gotten a couple pages in, like 6 or so, I want it to be a short story consisting of 100-200. When I am done, how would i get it published, who is the best publisher for modern horrors.

  • @randomkids174 Sounds cool, but do you not mean insanity rather than insomnia,insomnia is when you cant sleep

  • Hey Kaleb, know it's a little late, only just found your videos, I am writing a trilogy of the roman empire and am 11 years old. Can you please tell me how to get it published? Would be very Grateful. Thanks

  • @IizScoPez publishing can be a very hard process, you can get over a ton of rejections but don't just go to one publisher, also you may have to get a literary agent who will revise your story. Find a publisher with the exact interest in what you are writing and give them a copy. They may reject it at first by making you tweak the story but it will take a while.

  • i wont to know how you got your book published please tell me what i do to get a book published all the steps you took please

  • Comment removed

  • Hey Kaleb. I just wanted to say that what you're doing is awesome (not that you probably haven't heard that). I'm currently writing a trilogy, with the first book written, and I'm writing the sequel. Seeing this video sort of gave me a lot of hope, because hey, I think it'd be awesome to get a box of copies of my book on my doorstep. I'll gladly read your book, thanks for not giving up on your ideas dude.

  • Congrats. Fruits of positive ambition :)

  • @WandProdigy I was writing a story almost exactly like that, but with an adult character. But, for ever wizard, there was an identical human, alien, and superhuman.

  • @limeburst1 I'm writing a childrens horror story about a fake town 10 miles out of seattle that live in fear of the supernatural. And this teenage boy moves there and him and his friends look for these paranormal forces and try to defeat them.

  • @WandProdigy What's your story about?

  • Wow. I was doing some homework for a visualization course that I am taking. I needed to know what it will feel like to ACTUALLY get done with the book I am writing... your video is everything I needed, you are SOOO excited, and WHY NOT, right? I am soo happy for you. Thanks.

  • @quicksand198989 Jabberwocky Sourcebooks. I'm not Kaleb, but it's on the back of the book

  • Picked up the copy a few days ago, hard back edition and I love it so much.

    I know what hard work is like, I have been preparing my book for almost 4 years and now I'm finally writing it. I'm taking hints and tips from other books on how to write it properly and so far it's going so well. I just designed the cover myself on photoshop and a tablet which allowed me to draw a graphic design of the character himself.

    So in the summer of 2011 the release of Precognition is going to be a reality.

  • This book is amazing, I give it 10/10!

  • wow nice book i would love to read it i like reading boks :P and yours looks awsome cheers christina

  • I WANT ONE

  • Not too bad, Very courageous .

  • I was under the impression that authors wrote their own bios on the back. I guess I was mistaken.

  • That's so many books...how many? 20? Did you give any away? Or can you not give any away? I don't know, I have no idea about what goes on in the publishing world.

  • Who is your publisher and was it hard to publish with them?

  • Wow Man. I am sooo excited for you! I can only imagine how excited you are to embark upon your first publishing endeavor. I'm so happy for you. Here's to MANY more book releases. :)

  • @bubberdub No... he's an actual author who actually published an ACTUAL book, that is and has been in ACTUAL bookstores since the ACTUAL month of September, last year. These are copies that are sold to media and press before the final bookstore/public copies come in. The sequel to it is coming October of this year.

    --A huge BranFan that has followed Kaleb Nation since 'Signing My Book Deal'.

  • Unusual situation for Bran to be found in a bank vault. How successful is your book now? I found your channel based on a search for the name Bran but this version is an ancient Celtic hero connected to my own town.

  • dude, you are inspiring me, i am working on a fantasy book for 5 years now having created everything from the scratch (maps, nations,names etc etc). Seeing your succes makes me hope. Although i have the impreesion that in big countries like your one it is that bit easier to get published. But anyhow, i am very jealous, i wish i can experience that feeling one day too
