Q: Who is the Worlds Youngest Novelist?

A:  

The Youngest Novelist

A novel consists of at least 400 pages and up in length. Bearing this standard in mind, Gloria Tesch is widely known as The World’s Youngest Novelist, this is factually correct.

Although Nancy Li Fan’s novel Swordbird was published by HarperCollins in 2007 when she was 13 years old, Swordbird contains in her book only about 150 pages or so, excluding her blank pages with a simple line and pictures overtaking a whole page with a couple of sentences.

Yes, she was younger than Gloria Tesch when she completed her short story, but she did not defeat the battle of the pages to officially make a novel.

Because of this she cannot claim the title: the youngest novelist, based on her 200 page story compared to the 800+ page novelist: Gloria Tesch

Gloria Tesch, Published her novel: Maradonia and the Seven Bridges when she was 13 years old, in 2007 by Liberty’s Book Press. She started writing her 800 page Debut Novel at age 11:

Maradonia and the ....Seven.. ..Bridges....

 Now her second novel, Maradonia and the Gold of Ophir is completed when she was 14 and Gloria Tesch is working on her third novel of her first trilogy. Maradonia and the ....Battle.... for the Key.
