Magazine Review: Getting Published at Age 50

Hi. I recently read an aritcle in "Writer's Digest" that gave tips on how to get published when advancing into your later years.
Many famous authors were listed as getting published at age 50 or even later. I believe one such person was the author of "The Little Prince." It stated she was 50 before that particular work was published.
An Indian author was also listed as writing a particular work and not getting published till 60, and even more suprising, one work he had written was published when he turned 94.
Further on, various tips were given on how to approach publishing at this later age. Adding humor, it said not to tell your publisher how wonderful you were in World War II. Secondly, don't give the person who you want to publish your work the idea that you have only one big novel or book to write and then your'e set for 10 years or so.
In addition, it expressed to take rejection gracefully-and stating that many authors' first book was rejected, and that more mature authors have created an impression among publishers that they know what they're doing. So, be open to constructive criticism.
In summary, the article very clearly conveyed the message that there is a positivie outlook for writers of all age, even if they are mature in their years.
So, keep writing!, and always be hopeful and confident. -R.Kapitan
