Zane said that one reasontheri
is dominated by older generate
it often takes years to develop!
essary skills. The fact that there ait:
published older writers than yos
writers is simply reflective ofthei
tion required to become success!
“A writer who is gifted atavi
age is much more rare thana»
who has honed and worked at pc
ing their craft,” Zane said.
This should not be taken toi
that writers should wait untiltk)
considerable experience. Railj
should encourage young writer
work hard and take their writin?
ously.
Another literary agent, PeterSi
herg of Donadio and Olson
that writers should understand tk

their work because of the capitaiisj
sonality of the publishing indusn
“It really depends on the wi
it’s good, it’s good. No one caress

anyway,” Steinberg said.
Once writers have reachedapa

experts say there are several elera

“Read the literary gods and god!

Steinberg, like almost every Engi

“There’s no rush. Get the wo!
good as you can make it because
only get one shot. Don’t rush it. Ifitn#

So with the abundant resow
available, there is no reason fortala
ed student writers to not makenam

dents should work hard at perfeci
their talent and realize their dreams!
fore they are left empty upon
