So why aren't they writing books? They're making music, playing chess, and doing math -- often at much higher levels than many adults. Why not books?

There are plenty of books written by people under 18. Some are even above average relative to adult writing. But, unlike chess, math, or music it takes a long time to write a book so they get less practice. On top of that books take a long time to write so they need to be good at a young age simply to finish by 18.
On the other had there is some IMO great poetry written by kids.
