Until you are 18 your parents are legally responsible for your contracts.
All this means is that they have to approve in writing any deal that is made _or_ make that deal themselves on your behalf.
I would suggest you contact either a paralegal or look at the statutes in your state law concerning minors and contracts.
Then contact an agent unless you are self publishing by prepaying for X number of copies of your book to be printed. That is usually done with smaller publishing houses. Either way EDIT your MS and send 3 chapters (double spaced) to an agent with a tight synopisis. DO NOT SEND your MS. It will get tossed out.

Same way someone over 50 publishes a book.

Sure a book can be published, you may not find a publisher to do it. You need a Literary Agent to submit your manuscript to a Publisher.

Absolutely! Xlibris is a self-publishing company that allows young authors get their works published (as long as you have your parents consent). Unlike traditional publishing companies, self-publishers allow you to have your work printed the way you want it -- full creative control over your work.

They don't look at your age. They read the book and then decide. Send it out and see what happens! If they like it, they can work with your parents and an attorney.
