Writing and Publishing : The Ultimate Teen Guide

Edgar Allen Poe, Langston Hughes, Louisa May Alcott, and Stephen King are just a handful of famous authors who began their publishing careers in their teens.

Many young adults would like to write and publish but few know where to begin.

While there are many books on how to write and how to get published, none are written specifically for teens.

Writing and Publishing: The Ultimate Teen Guide fills this gap. In this book, author Tina Schwartz discusses many matters that are not often presented in guides to writing and publishing, such as the importance of mentors and critique groups, as well as courses and extracurricular activities that can be of great help to the up-and-coming teen author.

The book explores various writing careers and the basics of publishing and marketing, including how to write query letters.

Schwartz also provides tips on writing both fiction and nonfiction, as well as genres a new author can explore, like poetry and songwriting.

With this resource, teens will find all the information they need to develop writing skills and build confidence as a writer.
