Anyone know any good publishing companies?

I'm a thirteen year old writer, and am working on my first major novel. I have previously written short stories and poems. Everyone says they love my writing. Does anyone have any good publishing companies and or literary agents? Thanks in advance.Anyone know any good publishing companies?

Finish your novel and edit it at least a couple of times before you think about getting it published. Agents and publishers are not interested in anything they can't sell. Then join a critique group - or at least show your work to someone who has no reason to spare your feelings.



Get hold of the current edition of Writers' Market or a similar directory and work your way through the agents and publishers who are interested in your genre.



Being young is not in itself a barrier to being published, but your lack of experience is likely to show in your writing. To be published, your book will have to compete on its merits. That is, it has to be good when compared with everything else that's currently in the bookshop, not just good when compared with stuff written by other people of the same age as you. You will need to persevere, and not give up at the first rejection - nor the tenth, nor the hundredth if they come.Anyone know any good publishing companies?
Slow down. First, finish the novel. Publishing companies only seek completed ones--and not just first drafts that are done, but novels which have been revised, rewritten, polished, edited, proofread, etc. until there's simply nothing that can be done to improve them. For a first novel, the completion and polishing could literally take two years.



At which time you'll still be unable to enter into a publishing contract, so you'd need to be sure you can get a parental signature if a contract is offered.



When the novel is done, visit a good bookstore. Go the the section where your novel would be if it's published. Jot down titles, authors, and publishers.



Back home, go to each publisher's website and determine if they deal directly with authors or only with agents. (The big ones are all agents-only.)



Use the internet to help you identify the agents who brokered the deals for the titles in the store. That's your A-list.
little and brown, but they probably won't accpet you for being 13
