This is a question you might more appropriately ask of your city
government. I will offer at least a tentative yes, you may well need
such a license. I know my community requires a business license if you
will be writing on contract--as opposed to simply authoring books and
sending them off to a publisher. If you will have customers, you are
likely to need a license.
