Age you can be published from

I know I am not ready to be published yet, however I was wondering if there was a minimum age you have to be when trying to get an agent and published. Also I am going to university this September and although I will be doing a degree in History I believe there are groups for creative writing. Would anyone recommend my joining or will the be a hinderence as a opposed to a benefit? Thank you

Hi Alice:) Oh good, I want to start looking for agents by the time I finish university. :)

I thought that too so will more than likely join :)

Oh cool, what course is your sister doing? I hope you get in with the course and university you want :D x

There is certainly no age restriction in getting work published. I seem to remember that back in the late 60's early 70's there was a series of childrens books about 'The Herbs' that was later made into a TV show. The creator I believe was a 13 year old schoolgirl.
