How old do you have to be to be an author?

Do not wait until later, Sweetie. Start showing your works to some publishers. They might be interested in one of them. You can be an author at any age since age can not be a barrier of a talent. Good Luck!!!

How would I show them to publishers?

Can I show you some of my work to see if it’s good enough?

U can b an author at any age, age doesn’t matter, its how good u r, why not get some addresses or something to some publishers and send it in :-)

Sure - FunMail me some samples and I’ll give you my honest opinion.

Yes there is no specific age to be a good author, you can start writing at any age. The more you write the more you will learn . Nobody is perfect at the beginning, eventually you will increase your writing skill. You can try writing how to in fun advice but you seem to young to write a how to article. You can start writing in website like Hubpages.com to show your work to wide range of good writers. best wishes :)

You can bring its hard copy to them. They will read it. If they like it they will ask for the soft copy or the file. Before that, first try to go to a patent office to get the legitimation for your work. Someone must know about the patent office in your area.You will be safe. :-)

no age. start writing, and when you decide to publish, do it. We have young authors as young as 7, and as old as 98, go for it. Good luck
