Although children don’t usually get offers from traditional publishers, a child can always self-publish their book with the help of a parent or adult. In terms of publishing, the rise in modern technology has made it easier for anyone of all ages to publish a book. If they don’t have the technical skills of actually “writing” yet, they can still create their own stories by dictating them to an adult who can transcribe them.
