How could a minor go about getting a transcript published?

...for a novel, that is. Thank you!How could a minor go about getting a transcript published?
You can start with knowing it's manuscript, not transcript. I'll let this error slide.





Anyhow, disregard the fact you're a minor. If you're a talented writer, publishing has no pre-requisite for age. I suggest you purchase The Writer's Market 2007 (or go to the library if you cannot afford to buy it) and also read books on writing a great query letter to publishers. Whatever you do, do NOT send an unsolicited manuscript.





If your novel gets picked up, make sure your parents are involved with every step of the way. If; like many, many other writers, you face rejection after rejection, don't give up. If writing is your passion you'll find a way to succeed no matter what.





Good luck to you.How could a minor go about getting a transcript published?
By unsolicited manuscript, I believe they mean the whole thing. Generally, one will send a small portion of the work (as the greatest idea in the world will look like the south end of a donkey is the writer doesn't know a thing about writing, and visa versa). The first 13 lines are particularly important (as these are the lines that are most likely to be read on a properly formatted manuscript).





Make sure you get other people to read your work first, however, especially for grammatical and spelling errors. These can spell doom for you. Also be sure to send your work to the proper publishers (not every publisher touches children books, or science fiction, or mystery, etc).





You certainly do not need an agent, but they certainly do help. A good agent will not charge you (or only charge very nominal fees, but these are increasingly rare). An agent makes money off of the profit of your book, a publisher makes money off of publishing your book (and the associated profits); it shouldn't cost you anything more than postage (but that can be expensive).





You might want to check with your parents, as technically I do not believe a publisher can sign a contract with you if they accept you (being a minor).
Novels don't have transcripts...a little confused here. Age doesn't matter, anything could get published if they wanted to.
I think you could... Not sure, though...
Well first you need an agent or a manager. Right now i am working with an amazing agent. i am only thirteen, but mine was written as a script for a movie. they way i found them was through the internet. just go to yahoo and search like...good agents for kids books... That should work, hit me up with it so i can read it. gavinholter@yahoo.com
