The average age of getting published is around 30-35 for a reason: the writer has had sufficient time to hone their craft and techniques and style.Publishers and agents read hundreds of stories, and they do it for a living... they can tell the difference between someone who's been writing for years and someone who is still an amateur.</blockquote>
