yes, I know, but I'll send it to a big publisher first and if that won't work, then I'll try that.  thanks!

Not to burst your bubble, B, but most publishers don't accept books from kids. I spent hours of looking online at different publisher's websites with my Dad; most of them would not accept books from people our age. Some should in a few years though. Remember that email I forwarded from Mr. Chadwick?

That's reasonable, though they're kind of alienating a good bit of their audience.. :<
most works by children could be improved with a couple years more experience...
Eragon, anybody???

thus my advice (coming from a writer with high hopes myself) is not to try to publish it yet
wait a while because you're probably going to want to change it a lot
