Looking to publish one of my writings… what is the best known title to do so (one colleges see or find impressive)?
Thanks,
Liss
Well . . . I have to say I was saddened to know that you’re interested in publishing only to impress colleges. I was hoping that you were interested in creating art for the sake of creating art. sigh
That being said, publishing a novel as a teen seems like it might be helpful to enter college . . . and I’m not being sarcastic. SE Hinton was a teen (not sure if she attended college), Christopher Paolini published at age 15 the Erogon novels; Ned Vizzini wrote a heart-stopping novel too as a teen and then I think decided to not attend college, because . . . ??, Hanna Moskowitz . . . there are others. Swordbird was written by a 12 year old. (her parents did not not not help her!) (and it wasn’t a ploy to get into Harvard! No it was not!) 
Talk to your English teacher. They will have ideas for student publishing.
Also publish in your school newspaper/journal.
If you don’t have one, create one.
Anyone can self publish. My kid, in 10th grade, published a book as an assignment. If you truly have talent, then a reputable publishing house will invest $ in your work. Then you might have something to brag about. At this point, access to your parents’ credit card will get you a published book in about 3 weeks. It just ain’t all dat…
Students interested in publishing a history paper should consider The Concord Review, Inc. What a great publication!
