Age works against you as far as education and life experience are concerned--in other words, you don't have as much of either of those things as most adult authors, so it will be very difficult for you to write a publishable book. But your age by itself won't trouble a publisher. In fact, if your work is publishable, they're highly likely to make a big deal about your youth in order to grab media attention for the book.
Just be aware that if you're 13 and you've written a really amazing book for a 13-year-old, that will mean nothing to a publisher. You have to write a really good BOOK.
