can someone even publish a novel in high school? someone told

That's bullshit.
Think about it. Do you want your first book to be Eragon?

publishing is always going to be about contacts. yeah, a high schooler can publish but i'd say majority of them would come from literary families.

"most successful" writers is too vague to be worth anything. for ever "successful" writer publishing young, there was an equally promising high schooler who dropped off for whatever reason. there are also "a lot" of successful writers who published late in life as well.

This.
>thanks God my parents are not billionaires
>thanks God I haven't published the shit I've written when I was in 10th grade

Be glad.

In a way, it is a huge advantage. Though I imagine that said author would likely suffer some form of humiliation as he grew

I think it's unlikely for one to publish something decent in high school. Even if your parents were as scholarly and influential as they could be, you're not mature enough to set upon the task to write on the human condition.

You can publish at any age.

>someone told me that most successful writers were first recognized in high school as they submitted their manuscripts and novels.

Doubt high school is where their literary talents blossomed. Vast majority start during university, or when they have enough life experience to write about.
