For starters, this is not my first account; rather, I felt more confident publishing my work under a disguised name.  

I have been writing fictional scenarios since I was in elementary school, and now about eight years later I'm about to go to college.  I became a twice published author in high school, one work being a poem entered into a competition, which I approved for publication. The other work is an essay published in my state's magazine.   However, I have always desired to publish a book,  and I am hoping this is the first steps to assisting me in reaching that goal.
