A few months ago I sent in one of many hundred manuscripts to a publisher and they want to publisher it. Just received the contract today. Am going to have my agent look it over and see what he thinks. And as a bonus, I get 20% royalties plus a $60,000 bonus. And they greatest part it, I am only sixteen.
Look out for my new novel soon:
The Tale of Sweeney Todd by Zachary K. Zeitlow
I am so blessed that God has given me this chance!

It's called Bloomsbury US. I sent a manuscript in unsolicited and they accepted it. Very excited. Am getting the contract in a few days.

20% royalties?! That's absolutely insane, man, I've never even heard if it being that high. Congratulations. It's got nothing to do with luck. ;D

Well, that is was just an estimate. My agent told me. It might be lower, but what the heck? Does it matter? I am getting a book published and I am only sixteen.
If it can happen to me, it can happen to any one.
Thanks alot, everyone!

Congrats. When does it come out? Looks like you had a book out with PublishAmerica (Do most of you know about them?) at one point or another. Which is cool anyway! Even though I am not a PA fan, your work is good. www.freewebs.com/zzpa90/bookreviews.htm

Wow, that's great! I have been trying to find a publishing place for a while, I'm almost finished with family tree. You have no idea how much I envy you. That is so cool that your only 16, how long have you been writing and editing it?
