Can a 11 year old be an author?

Answer 1

Of course you can,but as a minor, your parents will have to sign all contracts and make all financial arrangements on your behalf. It will require the services of an attorney who specializes in the publishing industry. Pax - C

Answer 2

Yes, an 11 year old can be an author. Anyone can be an author, in writing there is no age limit.

Answer 3

There is no age limit, so long as the work is good enough to be published. Actually, the younger the better. If the author is 11, he/she would probably get a lot of publicity.

Answer 4

If the book was really good and the publisher thought that the kid should publish, then yes. There was a kid who was nine years old, born unable to breathe and walk, de died a few years ago, but he published two chapter books at the ages of eight and ten. I don't remember his name, but if you look long enough, you should find him under Oprah headings or her site.

Answer 5

You can write at 11. You cannot legally enter in to a publishing contract with either an agent or publisher however. Your parents would need to do this.

Answer 6

YEAH totally! I know a lot of nine-year old authors too! Plus I'm thirteen and I'm a writer, so go figure!

Answer 7

You wrote this. Right?

Now, becoming a PUBLISHED author. That's another thing.

Answer 8

Sure. A kid that age wrote a good book of Presidential trivia a couple of years ago.

Answer 9

of course!!
There is an 8 year old who has 3 book the are in store.
Go for it

Answer 10

Sure!

The young man who wrote Eragon was 15 when it was published.

The toughest part will be finding an agent who will submit it to a publisher.

Good Luck.
