Eleven-year-old Melika Goli was registered as the youngest author and the youngest donor on Iran’s National Records List.
Her father said that he applied to register Melika’s name with Guinness World Records as the world's youngest author but Guinness officials asked for an official request from the Iranian government.
“So, we filed for registration of her name here and then Iran’s National Records officials announced on Saturday that they have registered Melika’s name,” he told the Persian service of MNA.
“We aim to register Melika’s name with the Guinness Book of World Records one day and I doubt if there is any other such registration in this field,” he mentioned.
Melika has already written 14 books and 20 more of her books are ready for publication. She has recently endowed all 14 of her books to provide funds for orphans around the world.
She plans to donate any money raised from the sale of translations of her books in a specific country to the children of that country.
She began her writing career at the age of seven after completing first grade when she attended story-writing courses her father held for school children. Prior to that time, she created oral stories.
“Runaway”, “Moneys”, “The Wealthy Daddy”, “The Bride”, “More Beautiful than Ever”, “The Bicycle”, “The Last Time”, and “The New Boss” are among her credits.
