Publishers? - Comments

you can look up many places in the phone book :)

I'm Norwegian, so I'm afraid I can't help you.
But, on the other hand, I'm working on my own book as well :]
I hope you get it published^_^

another big factor is age; how old are you? i know lots of publishers here the UK won't even read stories if the author is under 16.

Try sending at least short stories to mags. Don't go after a big novel first. Most writers start off with short stories in mags/news papers/school papers.
Don't get a literary agent/editor .... get some stories published, people see your name around and build up a name, get into a literary association/club/get-together/whatever you call it, have writers friends.
I know a kid who's got a poetry book published, but he first sent poems around for almost 2 years.
But I mean that's how it is around here...maybe in the U.S. is different..but I doubt it.
