One of my personal faves: "The Young Visiters, or Mr Salteena's Plan" by Daisy Ashford aged 9. With a foreword by J.M.Barrie
Quite delicious. A really excellent thing.

Yeah, ive researched a little and read the posts on this thread, i think i should write my first draft, and ive already got about 10,000 words in and i have to say the book looks a little 'rough' but i know i can probably fix most of it up when i edit it after i finish it. So basically im planning on writing it then rewriting it, fixing up mistakes, lack of detail or whatever needs smoothing out and then ill get some beta readers i guess and then ill probably have to edit it again. I plan to at first try to get an agent to look at it and hopefully accept it, should i hire an editor first after ive edited it or does the agent do that, i really dont have a clue..
A teenager is not a child. Depending on how old you are. Sixteen or seventeen? You’re more adult than a child. I’d say this is even somewhat true if you’re fifteen. Younger, well, then you’re still developing.
Catherine Webb (who writes YA under that name and adult as Kate Griffin) published her first novel at sixteen.
