Hi Jennifer,
Welcome to JacketFlap. I know it can seem difficult when you're first starting out--don't be discouraged. The most important thing you can do is to keep writing and to read lots and lots of books on writing. Write every day as much as you can non-stop. And join or start a YA critique group. It's amazing what you will learn and the contacts you will make. You will get there in the end!! Wishing you success.
