Now, I realise that this post (and answers) may be different depending on which country one lives in, but any and all responses would be much appreciated!

I live in the UK - specifically England - and I am currently co-working on a novel I intend to publish. However, I was wondering whether there is a publishing age that restricts under eighteens. This occurs to me, as when you publish a novel, or anything really, money is a rather large factor - as the book is (as soon as published) able to be purchased by anyone. Now, I'm not sure if under eighteens can actually receive money from published books that they own - or whether it has to be placed into their parents' or guardians' care.

However, I am sure that there must be some books that are published by under eighteens. Again, any and all responses are appreciated.
