Dear Mr Cornwell, once again I come to you for advice. I am a 16 year old boy, and I am planning to write a novel set during the first world war. I do not plan to have the novel finished until I am about 17 , however would an agent take it seriously if a manuscript written by a 17 year old landed on his desk ? I feel confident about my plot and characters and I would hope that if an agent read it they would enjoy my story. Once again I thank you for taking the time to read my comment and thank you in advance for your help. Jordan W
