ElliotDear Gordon Korman,
It's my dream to become a best-selling author, and you inspired me with the fact that you published a novel at the age of 14. I myself published a book, I was nine years old and it was a dream come true.

To clarify, I didn't publish a book. I had a book published. Which means that it was puchased from me by a publisher, who then edited and illustrated the cover, and then published it, then saw to distribution and sales. --GK--
