Books to Read Question

Dose anyone know how a 13 year old girl can publish a book?

Lots of my friends and people [my readers] on here tell me my stories should be published,.. and i'm not sure what to do.. like my Twilight story "Breaking Eclipse" it has almost 9 chapters.. but idk. anyone have ideas?

I know this question doesn't make sense, when i wrote it, i wasn't thinking.. anyways i didn't mean my Twilight stories, i KNOW those can't get published, but i do write original storys too, and i post them on FictionPress.com anyways... I'm gonna delete this question as i did the other one soon but thanks for the comments. -Yuki<3

START WITH A COPYRIGHT THEN CONTACT PUBLISHERS AND REQUEST THEIR SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

I personally do not know how to enter the publishing world but you might try to contact the author Nancy Yi Fan. Her first book "Swordbird" was published when she was twelve (or around that age) too. She might have some suggestions.

I have deja vu. I'm sure I answered this question of yours before, but I'm not sure where my answer went.

There are several publishing companies you can submit manuscripts to, but keep in mind that publishing companies are much harder on your work than your family and friends are. You'll be rejected by the majority of them. Don't take it to heart-- so was JK Rowling.

But I want to stress that you cannot publish fan fiction (like your Twilight story) because it is copyrighted material. You can't make money with someone else's universe and characters. Moreover, you shouldn't.

You have bright ideas in your head. Use those. Refine them. Work on them. Don't jump the gun. Reread them. Edit them. Cradle them like children, and they'll grow into great stories. The more you work on a story, the more likely a publisher will agree to publish it.

Yeah I agree, its much better to go for an original ideas, dont limit yourself to twilight stuff. If youre a good author, like many people have told you, then you will come up with great new ideas on your own :)

Its not that you arent allowed, its just very difficult to get someone to invest money and time in your story at such a young age, I think thats what the question is about :)
