Ella Farrelly asked B.A. Paris:

I want to become an Author when I finish school and I was wondering if you have any advice on how to become one and how to get a book published?🙂

B.A. Paris Hi Ella,
Lovely that you want to become an author. Really, you just need to find an idea and start writing. Once you've written your book, you need to find an agent to represent you - you have to send them your book, or at least the first few chapters so that they can see if they want to take you on. This might take time and you might get quite a few rejections, but everyone does, so don't worry, just keep going. Once you have an agent, they will usually be able to find a publisher who will agree to publish your book. So, start writing!
Good luck!
