Dear Raven,
Listen to Holly's advice. Don't be too hard on yourself. I could only dream of writing that well at 15. In fact, I was composing song lyrics early on then advanced to the next level. It will all come in time, trust me. When you decide to send to any publishers be selective; try the small presses first and ensure your material is what they are seeking. Wished I had known when I began. I still get a high rejection rate with the major presses. Resplendence...now that's a bit of alright...didn't come across that one until my early 20's. Hang in there!
