### Your readers won't care about your age Sometimes an author will write a little autobiographic blurb that is printed at the end of the book. If you do this and you mention your age in there your readers might realize how old you were when you wrote your book. At least those readers that care about the author biography. Your readers will care about the quality of the book. A publisher might want to promote a book a book that was written by a teenager to get the people who take that into consideration to buy the book. If you don't like that you should look into [self-publishing](/questions/tagged/self-publishing "show questions tagged 'self-publishing'"). You might also want to use a [pseudonym](/questions/tagged/pseudonym "show questions tagged 'pseudonym'") when publishing your book to make it harder to find out who you are and thereby how old you were when you published the book.
