The Herald-Sun - Young writer publishes his first novel

The Herald-Sun - Young writer publishes his first novel: At age 13, Joseph Landing Jr. told his parents that he wanted to write a novel, and after extensive research, he did just that.

Starting in January 2010, it took Landing six months and four to five pages a day to finish writing. Now, at 16, he’s self-published that novel, Tamechactee: Arrow Soul.”

With the difficulty to get published as an unknown author, especially at such a young age, Landing decided self-publishing was the way to go.
