Hello there. Happy Writemas.
I chose a simple question for today. Maybe some will think this is boring, but those controversial questions are pretty intense.
Question #4
Did you ever consider writing under a pseudonym?
Simple. I do write under a pseudonym. Cristie Noll is my pseudonym for my romance writings. Elly Abrams is my pseudonym for erotic writings. I will likely have one if I publish my children's books. I publish my serious stuff with my own name simply because I want my name attached to them for forever.
I personally feel like I should have a new name for each genre I write. Not only is this less confusing for individuals searching for more of my books, but it keeps things organized. And I love organization. You should see a picture of my writing cloud. It is organized by genre or aspect of writing. I could go further, but you do not have all day.
There is a whole controversy throughout the history of publishing authors of women using a man's name as a pseudonym (or a neutral one) to be taken more seriously as a writer. That, my friends, is such a tragedy. And it still happens today. Do yourself a favor! Support women authors when you can. We need your support!
