I'm a younger teenager and I wrote a novel 300 pages long. It has a cliff-hanger ending, and I started writing the sequel, which I'm almost finished with. I plan to have a series sort of like the "Private" series (or Privilege) by Kate Brian, just in a different style. I've talked to Joyce Sidman and Victoria Kasten (both published authors) and they've given me advice on how to get ready. I'm curious as to how well my book might be if I'm younger. Would that help it, seeing as people might be curious, or would it lower my chances because I'm not as "experienced"? It's (somewhat) realistic- fiction, and I've had a few people read it, they've all told me I'm good. Also, what kind of publishing companies would be good for a first-time author?
