Why First-Time Writers are Old

Nathan Bransford's Friday blog post pointed to a very interesting article at Whatever about why first novelists are usually in their thirties.


John Scalzi wrote his first novel at 28, and was published for the first time (with his second novel) at 35.


Encouraging.
