Hi,I have been published in magazine, online, as well as in book form. You are starting out young, and chances are good that you will be published some day. You can take courses in writing but the best thing to do is to read voraciously and to write. There is a lot more work (and drudgery) in it than most people bargain for. Getting rejections is another ego deflating experience, but "no pain, no gain." Good luck. Message me if you like for friendly help. I am an editor and a small press publisher as well.
