Micro Business Idea: Book Author

Victoria Kasten was only eight when she started writing novels that featured horses. She has now written more than 9 books and sells them through her website EpicScrolls.com.

Getting a book written and published is easier than ever. Check out CreateSpace.com to get your words into print!

I used CreateSpace.com to print my Micro Business for Teens book series.

    My daughter is interested in this idea. I’ve been checking out createspace and am not sure if it is available to minors. Do you know?

    Christen,

    I visited the CreateSpace Community and found a teenager asking the same question. It seems that CreateSpace has no problem with minors publishing books with them, but there may be a problem with how your teenager will bet paid.

    One father ran into problems. CreateSpace would only issue royalty payments to the father, not to the teenage son. It was very frustrating to the father. Read his story here:

    Create Space’s policy states:

    Minors and Purchasing
    If you are under 18, you may only purchase items from us or our Members with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

From a parent

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.

I can hardly believe we are at this point in our life-and here he is a young man ready to try his fortune with the world.
