This makes me sound really weird, but I was first published in a poetry anthology when I was 13 - not even a good poem either. I personally have never had any problems, but then again I'm not trying to get books published at the moment (I'm too busy with trying to fit finishing them around my uni classes), I've only had poetry, short stories and articles published. My only real advice would be to try and track down publishers that publish other works in your genre, and never let rejection get you down - try rewriting or just sending it somewhere else, - and to always consider any criticism they give you.
