I have created a pen name for my novel, one that I feel represents the genre. I want to write another novel in a different genre and I'm considering creating another pen name to suit. What do you think, are pen names a good idea, is it possible/advisable to have more than one?
Thank you Victoria. Should an author be known for writing certain types of novels only or could they be diverse? All the novellists I know are recognised for being a crime writer/ romance novellist/ thriller specialist etc. Would I be taken seriously if I wrote a modern thriller follwoed by a historical drama?
I think promoting one name is hard enough. I wouldn-t start the whole process again with a second name. What would be the point?
