Theodore Cohen (theodorejeromecohen) | 1449 comments I use a pseudonym (Alyssa Devine) for my YA novels and some flash fiction work.

If you've ever thought of using one, this article from the BBC might interest you:

PS I've been using another pseudonym for more then 40 years to write fiction for a specialized technical journal, and to this day, less then ten people know who the writer is. (;>) T

LOL Who knows...I've seen some pretty great names. I once had a book reviewer named Paige Lovett.

Amy Hamilton | 2560 comments lol. I only went with a pseudonym because I started by writing erotica and it seemed the thing to do.

Thanks. I try.


message 9: by Bernard (new)

Bernard Boley (bernard_boley) | 27 comments I decided to use a pseudonym which is probably mor a pen name because of the pronounciation in English of the first syllabe of my family name would sound like the first one in the word beautiful which is not the case in French. So I went for the spelling my ancestor used: Boley.

Love it! If I saw that name in the Kindle store, I'd definitely check out their work.
