A Goodreads user asked Christopher Paolini:

Hey Chris i was wonder how you became a successful writer at 15? Because i am trying to write a project of my own. can i have some advise?

Christopher Paolini Happy to hear you're working on your own projects! That's a tough question. It was a combination of hard work and being in the right place at the right time. I started writing Eragon when I was fifteen, my family self-published it when I was seventeen, and Random House republished it when I was twenty.
