IF you're interested, Featherweight Press (whom I'm an editor for) accepts submissions from school aged authors. We currently have a few young authors already on our roster. =)

comment The importance of monitor size/distance for writing productivity?
Considering I've been published four times (with a fifth coming out) and I write on my laptop with a 12.1' screen, I have to agree with Kate.

comment I'm not a great pantser; what kind of preparation do I need for NaNoWriMo?
I have never heard of "pantsing" used in terms of writing until today. My first thought when I read your title "WTF does pulling someone's pants down have to do with writing for NaNoWriMo?"

comment First Person Voice - Same as speaking?
@Joel The character isn't writing the story (unless it's a journal or letter type book). The author is writing the story. The character is narrating it. Think more listening to an audiobook.

I don't think this has anything to do with Writing or Writers.SE

comment What to include in agreement with a Ghost Writer. . .
I'd recommend speaking with a lawyer who specializes in this type of thing and have them draw up a contract for it.
