 Stephanie,
Not sure if you/they were looking for nonfiction/memoirs, or fiction.  S.E. Hinton was a teenager when she wrote The Outsiders, as was Christopher Paolini when he started the Eragon series (I'm sure Carl Hiaasen being a family friend helped getting it published).  Gordon Korman got his first book, This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall, as a teenager in Canada.  Kody Keplinger wrote The Duff and Shut Out before turning 20.  As for memoirs, there's always Malala's.  
Thanks for the link to the interview!

 Hi all-Over the winter someone asked if there were any YA books written by teens for their class to read. Teen author Julia Tannebaum wrote CHANGING WAYS a book about growing up, which was inspired by her own struggle with mental illness.  I interviewed her on my blog, so if you would like to find out more about her story please pop over (there is an interview and a blurb about her book). 
Interview with Julia Tannenbaum.
