Hey ya!
It's great you're writing. More kids should.
(and aww, I'm glad you like my advice!)
Well, I can only give you the advice Doug Allyn gave me. He told me to run to the library and check out Writer's Market 2004 (or 2003 if they won't let you have the 2004 edition (didn't let me...Lol)) and/or Writer's Handbook. Both are good. They have sections filled with literary agents.
Write down some addresses and send out some queries, etc, and an agent may bite!
Mr. Allyn also warned me to be prepared for rejection, but to be optimistic. Just keep sending stuff out until someone accepts.
I wanted to send my stuff out to publishers, but then I discovered that the ones that publish my favorite writers only take manuscripts from agents.
Agents don't get paid up front - they take a percent of your profit from your book. If they want pay, they're not a real literary agent.
Good luck with this - if you get published, lemme know!
Hope I helped!
