The publishing industry has turns to child labor?? How are teenagers getting book deals?

One of my favorite book series as a teen was by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. She published her first book when she was 15.

this was a nostalgia-blast right to the gut. I remember reading In The Forests Of The Night as a teen and being SO into it.

... kinda wonder if I should check and see if she's had anything (good?) published since. She's got to be almost 40 now?

Typically: their parents or someone they're related to works in publishing or owns a publishing house. It's not by talent alone at all.

This has been going on for a very long time. With modern self publishing tools, it’s happening more often. Parents want to believe their child is better at adult things than seasoned adults.

This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall was written by Gordon Korman when he was 12 years old and published a few years later. I loved his books as a child/teenager--hilariously funny and with vivid characters.
