Basically I wrote a really amazing short story. I am not a fan of my own work. I think I am a horrible writer. But there is something about this one that makes me think it has a shot. The problem is, that I\'m only seventeen. And the chances of a publishing company even considering me is slim to known. And I know that. So I thought that maybe if I got a good amount of signatures that they would consider at least reading it. So please help me out! Just click the link on the left to add my myspace and read the short story!
I have been staring at my laptop for hours reading your notes on the story. It is surreal to see strangers actually caring about these characters I created in my bedroom. I am currently putting together a package to send out to some publishers who need to see how many people believe in this work.

Seeing so many people believe in my story when I have always doubted my own voice is completely overwhelming. This support gives me the courage to actually send my manuscript to those publishers instead of keeping it hidden away.

age is just a number. if the writing is good it should get published simple as that.
