I've just finished my first novel and want to get it published, but I don't know of any publishing companies that would publish someone still in High School.What publishing companies will publish novalists under eighteen?
Authors are made 鈥?not born at the first sign of christening and as long as you can write and pull off a manuscript at an early age of what, 6, you can be a published author.
Self-publishing is one venue for authors who wanted to test how their book will fare in the market.
To get into a contract, yes, you must have someone legal to assist you with it. Self-publishing will entail you to make a deposit before going through production and any financial transaction done should be legitimate.
How can you NOT publish? I have known of authors who started as early as 6 to 10- years old.
With parent鈥檚 consent, supervision and resources, these children are already raking exposure in the publishing industry as young as they are now.
Best of luck! :)What publishing companies will publish novalists under eighteen?

First what ever you do get it copyrighted then go from there I would just get a hold of publishers and see if they would publish your novel
Publishers aren't interested in how young or old you are, only how well you write. If you can write as well as or better than most adult authors, any of them would consider you. If you are below the age of majority where you live (it's not legal for you to enter into a contract), your parent or guardian would have to sign the publishing contract on your behalf.
Having said that, if this is your first novel, it's almost certainly not good enough to be published. (You do occasionally hear of authors getting their first novel published, but the key word is "occasionally" - those people are the exceptions.) If you haven't already edited it, do that. Take out at least 10% of the words. It will probably need to be edited again after that. Join a critique group. Listen to what they have to say. By now, you'll probably be sick of your first novel, so start writing another, applying what you've learned. On average, the fourth or fifth one has a chance of being good enough to be published.
