A novel is often defined as a work of fiction of around 40,000 words but nowadays usually comprises many more (70,000-150,000),
Novellas are defined as works of around 20,000 to 50,000 words, and novellettes as between 7,500 to 20,000 words (anything less is a short story).
Both short stories and novellettes are hard to sell to publisers in general.
A 'novelist' can be defined as an author of either novellas or novels.
Bearing this standard in mind, Daisy Ashford (1881-1972), full name Margaret Mary Julia Ashford, wrote the novella The Young Visiters: Or, Mister Salteena's Plan, published in 1919, when she was 9 years old, and qualifies her as (probably) the world's youngest novelist.
However her novella is often not recognized as a novel because it was 20,000-50,000 words long

Yes. A child has published a book before. The youngest author was Dorothy Straight who was eight when her book 'How The World Began' got published. I am a child myself and I didn't know it was possible until now. If you ever want to get a book published you could always try and self-publish one. Good luck!! XxX
The first person ever to write and publish a book on "The History of Vocational Education on Cape Cod" is Thomas L. Mazzei. He is a former teacher and student involved in the subject matter for over 60 years.
It depends on the author,editors
No. If you can write, you can become an author. Age is no limit to your ability to write a novel. I believe the youngest author ever was published at age 5.
