Published teen authors?

answers1: Three very famous ones: 
 
Mary Shelley - Frankenstein 
Françoise Sagan - Bonjour Tristesse 
S. E. Hinton - The Outsiders 
 
Take a look at the list on Wikipedia
answers2: Only ones I know of recently are Christopher Paolini at 15
and Amelia Atwater Rhodes at 14 (publishing agreement at 14, actual
publication at 15). 
 
However, Paolini's parents owned a publishing company. 
 
Atwater Rhodes showed her work to a teacher who was connected somehow
to the publishing industry and got very lucky.
answers3: Yashvardhan Shukla is one of them...
answers4: Commercially published teens I know of are: 
Christopher Paolini and Alexandra Adornetto. I haven't read the first
book, but many people say it's rubbish. I have read the second book
and it is atrocious! I'm purely judging on what I read, not her age.
 
Quite a few teens get self-published, which anyone with a bit of bob
to spare can do. Not to downgrade it or anything, since it's good if
you want a few copies for your friends and family, but honestly don't
expect many readers. 
You might see a few teens on this website that state they are an
author, but it's usually because they don't know the difference
between a writer and an author (or they got self-published). Those two
reasons are the most likely.
answers5: Teen/Child published authors 
* Alec Greven: How to Talk to Girls (published at age 9) 
* Nancy Yi Fan: Swordbird (published at 12 yrs) 
* Zlata Filipovic: Zlata's diary (written 11-13 years; publ. 13)) 
* Flavia Bujor: The prophecy of the stones (14) 
* Atwater-Jones, Amelia: In the forests of the night (14) 
* Alexandra Adornetto: The Shadow thief (14) 
* Sonya Hartnett: Trouble all the way (15) 
* Gordon Korman: This Can't Be Happening at McDonald Hall.
(16) (1978) 
* Catherine Webb: Mirror dreams (16) 
* Francoise Sagan: Bonjour Tristesse (16) 
* Robert Louis Stevenson: The Pentland Rising (16) 
* SE Hinton: The Outsiders (17) 
* Christopher Paolini: Eragon (18) 
* Simon French: Hey, phantom singlet (18) 
* Mary Shelley: Frankenstein (19) 
* Helen Oyeyemi: The Icarus girl (19) 
* Jack Heath: The Lab (19) 
* Scott Monk: Boyz are us (19) 
 
Published as adults 
* Daisy Ashford: The Young visitors (sic) (written at 9; publ. 38) 
* Anne Frank: Diary of a young girl (written at 13-15 years; publ. 
posthumously) 
* Isobelle Carmody: Obernewtyn (begun when the author was 15; publ. 
29) 
* Louisa May Allcott: Flower fables (written at 16; publ. 22) & The 
Inheritance (written at 17, publ. posthumously) 
Thanks to Craig Edgman, Teacher-librarian, for compiling this list. 
There is one more who has been publishing independantly and who has
now been officially signed to a traditional print publisher. I'll add
her name and age to the list as well. I think it is Amanda Hocking.
answers6: Depends on what you mean by "published". 
 
Anyone can vanity publish provided they have a parent or guardian who
is prepared to sign the contracts and pay the bills. Anyone. There is
no quality control _at all_. 
 
Published teen authors who you might have heard of? S E Hinton,
Christopher Paolini...and now I'm struggling.

series, Harry Potter series, Inheritance Cycle, Inkheart Trilogy...
answers3: The Hunger Games is a great book. Very different from any
book I've ever read. I loved it and couldn't put it down.

Twilight By Stephenie Meyer 
Harry Potter by J.K Rowling 
 
 
These are all my favourites :]
answers5: Read "The Whistling Season" by Ivan Doig. 
Or try "Watership Down."
answers6: How about yu go to your local bookstore, site the nearest
hot helper and ask them, say you are really confused as what to read
and ask if they have any recommendations. But don't mention
Twilight/Harry Potter/Inkheart or anything, go for a Jane Austen,
Gaskill, Hugo etc and ask if they know of anything similar. 
 
You get expert advice, and some great flirt practice :D 
2 birds....1 stone. 
 
:D 
 
16+ only though....
answers7: How old are you? If you're 10 or older, try Neil Gaiman's
The Graveyard Book -- it's about a boy raised in a graveyard by
ghosts. VERY COOL, and it just won the Newberry Medal for Best
Children's Fiction.
answers8: Twilight.
answers9: Have you read the "Eragon" series by Christopher Paolini or
"Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis? Stephen King, Tabitha King,
Dean Koontz, and V.C. Andrews are also good writers. 
 
"The Education of Ruby Loonfoot" by Paxton Riddle and "Mangos,
Bananas, and Coconuts: A Cuban Love Story" by Himilce Novas are also
really good (though "Mangos" might be too adult...I'm not sure of your
age...not graphic, but has an adult theme). "The Diary of Anne Frank"
(also called "Diary of a Girl", I think) is another of my favorites.
 
 
You might also want to try books by Karen White, Laura Ingalls Wilder,
Emily Barr, Helen Keller, the Bronte sisters... 
 
There are a lot more, but I can't think of them at the moment. :)
answers10: I would thoroughly recommend In Siberia by Colin Thubron. A
very interesting and beautifully written book. It is about history,
traveling and all kinds of other things. Read it and I am sure you
will enjoy it.

Any good websites for books/books reviews?

answers1: U can read some book reviews at this website:
http://thebooksineedandlove.weebly.com and also u can get some help
about website where u can read books for free. (the website is under
construction right now but it will finish till the starting of
october.)
answers2: One site I refer to quite often has reader reviews, much
like the review on Amazon. They don't sell books, just have reviews,
bios and other information about books. I don't use a lot of the
features, but I think there are also book club groups and it works a
lot like Facebook in that you can "friend" someone and follow their
readings as well. You can even compare books in your reading history
or books that you list as "want to read" with another person. If you
find someone with similar tastes, you can look at their library of
read books. The site is Goodreads.com.
answers3: goodreads.com has amazing book reviews. You can read the
comments the members of it have posted and see if those make you want
to read the book. 
 
I go on Youtube and just type in 'book reviews' and get names and
plots of books that I would (and have) love to read. 
 
I have names of books you can check out, but they're in the Young
Author section. 
 
Anna and the French kiss is absolutely amazing. 
The Mortal Instrument Series - nuff said. 
The Infernal Devices Series 
House of Night Series 
Lola and the boy next door 
Matched Series 
Warm Bodies 
 
Hope this helps.

How to Reduce the Redness of Sunburn

A bad sunburn can be painful, irritating, and tough to get rid of
quickly. We've looked into it for you, and the very best thing you can
do to diminish the intense redness is to take actions to properly heal
and conceal your skin. After this, ease your discomfort with
medication, cool temperatures, and other remedies. Prevent yourself
from burning next time by protecting your skin with sunscreen and
protective clothing, and by practicing awareness.
Method
1
Healing and Concealing Sunburns
1
Drink a lot of water. Try to drink at least 10 full glasses of water
each day for a week after your sunburn. This will help your body to
re-hydrate which will, in turn, aid in the healing process. Drinking
water while you are out in the sun will also help you to avoid
heatstroke and other heat-related medical conditions.[1]
At the same time, make sure to avoid consuming any alcohol during your
recovery period. This will only dehydrate you and dry out your skin
even more.
2
Apply aloe vera. This is the traditional go-to remedy when dealing
with a burn. The gel of the aloe vera plant has natural
anti-inflammatory properties and can speed up the healing process if
applied correctly. You can buy a store-brand aloe, but it is best to
use the gel directly from a plant when possible.[3]
To remove the gel from a plant, break off a single full stem. Cut the
stem open lengthwise. Open the stem and scrape out the gel using a
spoon or your finger. Apply the gel to your skin between 2-3 times a
day.[4]
For extra relief, you could also fill up an ice cube tray with aloe
vera and freeze it, making aloe cubes that you can rub on your burn.
(Wrap the cubes in a light hand towel before touching them to your
skin). You can also apply aloe gel to your face in an overnight
mask.[5]
3
Create a baking soda paste. Get out a small bowl and mix equal parts
baking soda and cornstarch. Add cool water until it reaches a thick
enough consistency to apply to your skin. Both of these primary
ingredients may take some of the redness out the burned areas. Rinse
the paste and reapply as needed to soothe your skin.
4
Use witch hazel. You can use the leaves and bark of the witch hazel
plant for medicinal purposes. The "tannins" contained in witch hazel
may help to repel bacteria and promote healing. Look for a vial of
witch hazel extract at your local natural foods store. Use a cotton
ball to apply the extract to your skin.
5
Apply apple cider vinegar to the area. You can fill up a bottle and
spray the vinegar directly on your skin for relief. Or, you can soak
cotton balls in vinegar and place them on your skin. Vinegar is a
known anti-inflammatory, so it may speed up the healing process.[8]
Be aware that some people react badly to apple cider vinegar. It is a
good idea to apply a small amount on the back of your hand, via a
cotton ball, before putting it all over your body. This will allow you
to watch your body's reaction on a small scale to make sure you will
be okay.
6
Apply potato slices to the area. Many natural healers swear that
potatoes can reduce pain and inflammation. Get a few potatoes and use
a knife to cut them into thin slices. Then, place these slices on the
burnt areas of your skin. Rotate the slices until you feel some
relief.[9]
You can also dice or shred a potato and place it into a blender. Blend
for a few pulses and then apply the resulting paste (being careful to
include the potato juices) onto your skin.
Make sure to carefully wash the potatoes before slicing or dicing.
7
Apply live cultured yogurt. This one is a bit of a long-shot but, if
nothing else, the cool temperature of the yogurt may soothe your skin.
Get out a cup of plain, probiotic yogurt and apply a light coating to
your burned skin using a cotton ball. Let the yogurt sit on your skin
for around 5 minutes before wiping off with a clean damp towel.[10]
8
Wear loose and dark clothing. Light, cotton garments that fall away
from the skin are your best options during your recovery period. These
items will let your skin breathe, preventing stagnation and lessening
the possibility of infection. Stick to darker colors as they will draw
less attention to your skin. Avoid whites and neon colors as they will
create contrast with the redness, making it more noticeable.[11]
9
Use make-up to cover the redness. Apply a green-tinted primer to the
burned areas to counterbalance the appearance of redness. Don't apply
blush as it will only increase the red look. Use a light hand with
make-up, however, as you can run the risk of skin irritation.[12]
