You don't have to do anything special at all. First you will seek an agent, with a query letter. Look up on the Internet or in writing books on Amazon how to write a query letter. Do not mention your age. If you get a response of somebody willing to read a sample, send it. Before you sign any contract or agreement, you will need to tell the other party you are a minor (and cannot enter into a contract), so your parent (or guardian) will sign on your behalf. Other than "minor", you don't have to mention your age. If your agent sells your book, it can be published without anybody knowing your age, seeing your picture, or anything else. People publish books under pseudonyms (made up names) all the time, to conceal their true identity. If you want to prevent being googled (or revealing your gender) you can publish under initials; e.g. "J.K. Rowling". I won't prejudge the quality of your work based on your age. I would just say, do not **_LIE_** about it, and do not sign **_any_** kind of agreement without your legal guardian (probably a parent).
