Amanda Moore asked Laura McCarthy Benson:

Is it possible to write a book at the age of 16? and Is it true that most book publishers wont publish an authors very first book?

Laura McCarthy Benson Of course it's possible to write a book at 16. So many authors have started out young!

As to the second question, a lot of publishers do publish first books. Some writers just have it with the first book. It's the second book that you have to watch for. Sophomore slump is a real things.
