27 -- Two Or More Authors, One Pseudonym

A pseudonym is when an author writes under a fictitious name. This is also known as a “pen name.” For this prompt, we’re looking for two authors who write together under one pseudonym. This may be a combination of their names (for example, best friends Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings write under the pseudonym Christina Lauren, using both of their first names) or a completely fictitious name unrelated to the author’s legal names.

We’re also looking for two or more authors writing under the same pseudonym. This may be two or more individuals who work on writing the same book together, or a group of authors who each ghostwrite a different book in a series under the same name (for example, Carolyn Keene and the Nancy Drew series).



Here is our Goodreads List for this prompt

L.A. Graf has written some good Star Trek novels, and that pseudonym has two or three authors writing any given book.
