Here's one that has bothered me for a long time... I am writing (as I always am) a children's fantasy novel that I hope to submit to an agent this year. It's a fairly dark, spooky story in a magical setting, starring an ordinary girl. I only have one problem with it...
I'm only 21.
Is that enough life experience to be writing anything? Can a person's style be sufficiently mature by that age? Will an agent look at the DOB and dismiss the submission? I'd appreciate some thoughts on this!
well brotha, you aren't young, i am 19 and writing a very nice novel :)
profession depends upon work not age.
I am currently 27 I started writing and working to publish my own work when I was about your age and there is no time like the present. I must say that over the years, with the experience, your writing may mature, but I think it most depends on the individual, who is to say that your work is not already of great quality? I just think you need to write and enjoy your craft.
It's not about the age of the writer but the quality of your work and your passion for your creation.
