I, like you, was someone who was picked on relentlessly in school (I’m homeschooled now, thankfully) mainly because I wasn’t, and am still not, someone who likes to shop for clothes in expensive stores, but would rather shop for books at my local Borders, I’m into things that aren’t popular (not exactly) I like thigns such as Anime and Manga and I was teased for that, and for my appearence too, I’ve lost alot of weight since my school days, I’m fourteen, I’ve written three and a half books, and like you, I’ve taken my bad experiences and used them to my advantege by polishing my skills as a writer, the more people said I couldnt’ do it, or that I was weird, the harder I pushed, I’m on the verge of getting published but I’m trapped, I have my books ready, I’m even doing a reading at Borders this year, but I can’t seem to find a publisher, every turn I take is a scam or too expensive, how did you do it? How did you get published especially at your age? Please help me out, I can’t write about my personal experiences like you can; I’m not emotionally strong enough to dredge up that pain and re-live it for the sake of a story, instead I’m a fiction writer; I write romance/fantasy and I just want to tell someone else’s story, I want someone to look up to one of my charectors the way I’ve looked up to the charectors of some of my own favirote books, any help on getting published would be great, thank you -Alexa AKA Asagi

Well, Alexa, thanks so much for commenting here. It sounds like you have had a very horrible time dealing with mean girls. I am very sorry.
If you want to publish your books (which you should), you should first of all try to send it to an editor or literary agent to see if they’d like to publish it. I got some great feedback from Andrew Clements. If they say no, you should search self-publishing accounts. We used CreateSpace, which works for Amazon, but that didn’t work out too well.
There are great places that I know of such as LuLu and iUniverse, if you’d like that.

Also, my mom and I believe it’s a great idea for you to start a blog about your mean girl experiences as well. Just go to wordpress.com and click start blogging here (or something like that). I believe you will have a fun time and lots of people will read it.

I hope I answered all your questions and concerns.

Good luck with your writing! You’d be a good one!

Actually, I think you’re best off using CreateSpace. It did have a few flaws, but that’s probably your best bet.

Thank you for the information and also for the tips, I’ll try contacting Andrew Clements, since self-publishing keeps leading me to dead ends, I’ve never thought of making a blog about my experiences, but I will now, thank you!

Actually Alexa, I think you’re better off not contacting him. Sorry about that, but he contacted us because he found out about it. If you’d like, email meredithandthemeangirls@gmail.com and attach your stories. I’d be happy to edit them for you.

Hey I looked at your website and it was interesting!!!

Hi, Maddie. I have a question. You know I want to be published someday, but I’m afraid to show my stories/books to anyone who might critize them, escecially my parents. I know that is not the way to get published AT ALL, but its hard for me!!!
Do you have any tips???
Thank you!!!
Katie

Well, Katie, it can be pretty scary to publish something if you are afraid that people will criticize your stories. But as an author you will have to learn that there are going to be people out there who don’t like your stories. People might tell you that they love your books but they feel that there are things in which you could’ve improved. That is called constructive feedback-something every author needs.
I think you should try to publish your stories. If you are afraid people will criticize you, feel free to email the stories to me at meredithandthemeangirls@gmail.com and I will look them over and edit them. But don’t be afraid to get constructive feedback from people because it will help you in the future. So if you want to publish them, then publish them.
Thanks for checking out my blog! If you have any more questions, you can email me or post more comments! Glad I could help! :)

Hey! I haven’t checked your website in FOREVER! Actually, I just found my copy of Meredith and the Mean Girls and my sister’s room and it reminded me to check the site!!! I was wondering how the sequel was going, when it will be out (or if it is out now), ect. Thanks!!!

Oh, well, the sequel is actually not going very far. I’ve been stuck in the middle for awhile, but I’m hoping a new idea will pop into mind soon. It will hopefully be released sometime in 2011 or 2012. Thanks for checking!

I love meredith and the mean girls. You are my age right now and you totally impressed me by your writing!! good job!!

I received your email and I will read it as soon as I get a chance.

Hi Maddie!
I have a quick question for you. What did you do about the contract when you published your book? Did you sign it? Your dad?

Thanks,
Isaac

Well, actually, we didn’t receive a contract since we self-published it.

you will get far don`t worry!!
