In self-publishing it's a little easier to keep that sort of information private, though, so I can see why authors do it. Plus, it helps people know what to expect when authors write under different pen names for different genres.<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a>Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5593256316878272806.post-57526766695711925392016-02-20T01:20:21.887+07:002016-02-20T01:20:21.887+07:00I'm not an author but I would use a pen name, ...I'm not an author but I would use a pen name, it would be my alias and I find you wouldn't be judged you can have things kept to yourself without divulging too much. I have only read a few with pen names, or you never know it could be more and I find it to be a refreshing. But ultimately you shouldn't base the book on a authors name it's the story and the words at the end of the day.

They don’t want a parent seeing the author’s name on a picture book and going, “That author writes smutty horror/thrillers, I’m not buying a book by that author for my kid.” The pen names help keep the author’s writing projects separate.<br /><br />Aj @ <a href="http://ajsterkel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Read All The Things!</a>Aj @ Read All The Things!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02860483414620371093noreply@blogger.com
