I'm under the impression that a lot of modern writers are not usually published in the mainstream until they are either approaching or well established in middle-age.

Not to undermine the praise for Paolini but if Im not miss taken I believe his parents own a publishing company or something to that extent. Still He graduated high school at 15 and started writing Eragon and just finished at 19 after completely re-writing the first three chapters. To learn more goto
