I acctally feel like theres a advantage to being a teen writer because you can Express yourself through writing and characters and you dont have to have a time it has to be done in a certain time and you can write as many books as you want and if you dont want to share the writing process you can Express it to yourself and get ideas from music and other things . I think that theres alot teens can do adults can also I think that some teens can write better then some adults also I'm writing a book write now called the battle for the mystical forest yeah cliche title but the story I think is good so far I even started to cry at some parts already and I hope that If you have a dream of being a writer vet or anything else you wanna be I say go for it do you work hard and say I can do it and we learn and hope when the moment comes you'll say I did it all!

Currently 11 years old and writing a novel. Can’t find the right publisher, but I’m sure I’ll find it soon. I consider myself a feminist, and the novel I am writing deals with feminism, sexual assault, mental illness, self-harm, abortion, LGBTQ and Transgender Discrimination, and suicide. All at the hands of a women named May Bennett over the course of seventeen years, and from ages thirteen to thirty. Writing page 35 at the moment, but hoping to make at least 90 more pages. Maybe I should self-publish the book, which seems like a good idea to me. Ava Broadway is my actual name, so that would also look cool on a book cover.

She has an interesting writing style, like your reading then all of the sudden BOOM there's that, and I'd say that mine is more mature. It's cool to see what each other think about, where we get inspiration from, and the vastly different ideas that we have.

My title for my book is Lights of Obscurity following a plot around trying to stop a mysterious organization! Edit: After thinking about it for a bit I realized that writing in the perspective a 23 year old who worked as a detective just wouldn’t work. I am no where near old enough to be able to write a character that is 23 and a detective, realistically. So now it’s a 16 year old! Same plot however!

Book series that is all about a band called the cranberries from the 1990s dedicated to the cranberries bandmembers and to Dolores O’Riordan who has unfortunately passed away in 2018 these books that I write our dedicated to them and it is a six book series but I work on it as much as I can I work on it every day on a daily basis unless again as I said if I’m really sick I have a migraine or I’ve just had a really really really really really really really busy day otherwise and that I work on it most days
