This Parent Q&A sheet for Writing a Novel Before You’re 18 — Is It Possible? is designed to help you feel confident supporting your child through this exciting creative writing journey. Writing a novel can seem like a huge task, especially for younger learners, but with the right approach, it becomes a fun and meaningful challenge.

We’ve included a full set of questions that your child might ask as they explore the topic. Each one comes with a clear and detailed answer, written in simple but respectful language. You don’t need to be a writer yourself — this sheet gives you the knowledge to guide, explain, and encourage your child as they create their own story.

Whether your learner is already writing short stories or just dreaming of a book one day, this guide is here to support you. It also includes extra conversation ideas to help spark curiosity and keep the topic engaging. You can use the sheet alongside our Info Zone article or as a flexible tool for informal chats, writing sessions, or project work.
