I wanted to know if there were any major book publishing companies, you know, like Wizards of the Coast and all that, that a 15 year old could join? I want someone who will be able to publish what I have written, someone good/popularish.

All Answers To Questions

I think you are confused. You don't "join" a publishing company. Do you mean you want to work at one, or that you want someone to publish something you have written?

I looked up 'Wizards of the Coast' on wikipedia and found them to be a role-playing game publisher. If I were you I suppose I would type in role playing games and go to the websites and then see what their submission process is. Apparently Wizards also has magazines that they publish and I'm sure they list the submission guidelines in there as well.

you don't join a publishing company. if they think your work is good enough - and 99.99% of the stuff they are submitted isn't - then they will buy the book rights from you and publish the book. i think you have a bit of skewed notion about this, it's the publisher that chooses the writer, not the writer choosing the publisher. try looking at the writers handbook by barry turner, it will give you a full list of publishers etc, and what they are looking for and how to submit to them. also, read from pitch to publication by carole blake - it will really open your eyes

I suggest self-publishing. It doesn't discriminate any age group or whatever. There are several schools of thoughts about it but I see it as a writer's strategy to get his or her book published fast. The author also has full authority over the manuscript. Xlibris is a self-publishing company that has a really good reputation on its excellent and wide ranging publishing services. Get a free book publishing guide from them and they will walk you through the whole process: http://www.xlibris.com/requestkit/index.asp?src=abl&key=qac I hope you find this information helpful.
