London, United Kingdom, September 19, 2020 –(PR.com)– The book is based on interviews with 52 female entrepreneurs of all ages and at all stages of business ranging from Verity, the youngest at 12 years old (when interviewed) to the oldest a Grandmother who started her venture after retirement.

Other interviewees include digital supremo Martha Lane Fox and serial entrepreneur and investor Lara Morgan, behind Scentered and Pacific Direct.

Ruth Saunders and John Smythe said: “For us authors meeting Verity was an electrifying experience. A non-stop show lasting one and a half hours. We’d love to fast forward ten years to see the heights she will doubtless climb. Verity is a fantastic role model for other young people to realise that they can turn their interests, talents and passions into entrepreneurial ventures.”

Verity started her performing career at age of four years old and has since gone on to work across stage, television and film, as well as presenting and interviewing.

When Verity was 11 she ventured into filmmaking and won a range of awards for her first solo film at 12 years of age as well as others for later films. At 13 Verity set up her own production company Limes House Films.

This year (2020) Verity is sitting on a judging panel for film festival submissions and is excited to be starting her first year at The BRIT School to study Film and Media Production alongside the Performing Arts.

Now 14 Verity says, “I’m absolutely delighted to see the publication of this book whose objective is to encourage and inspire women of all ages in society who’d like to be entrepreneurs. I’m honoured to be included.”
