How can I become a author?

Start by typing the story, making it longer until it's a whole book or just make it a short story. I don't know if there's a special age for publishing but you could probably google it. If there is get someone older to say they wrote it and use your name. The story probably won't get published the first time but keep trying! Have someone looka t it once its typed and let them tell you what they think
Write the story. Write it and let it sit while you write something else. Go back and edit the first story. Edit the second story. Improve improve improve.
And write some more. Don't forget to read both good and bad writing, so you can tell the difference.
You may be getting closer to readiness for publication:
1. Once you feel like you can listen to criticism without getting angry or sad.
2. Once you get thorough critique, not "Oh that's so great you're gonna be rich!" Good critique will help your work improve, not inflate your ego.
Be wary because a big ego makes a person hard to work with
Now write!
