Have you ever thought about what your author name will be?


I have. I haven't figured it out yet though. I guess I have plenty of time haha.

My author name would be my name? I never saw the use in a pen name.

tbh I used to think about pseudo's all the time back when I was predominantly writing fantasy fiction simply because the scifi and fantasty genre is so heavily male dominated. I particularly favoured David Walker.

But, alas, my days of writing fantasy-esque whatnot has long surpassed itself. At least in the meantime!

First initial, middle initial, last name. I could rock the sci-fi world with just that name. I mean...those who know me in real life will get the joke...

Yep, I know my author name(s), and they're nothing alike my real name. If I must put my real name somewhere, I'll stick to first name initial, first surname initial and second surname. I don't get a cool combination like Lumi, though :p

I would probably just use my own name; never saw the point in a pen name.

S.S. Toney. Because I'd sound like a ship.

I would probably use my "family" nickname ( and my fab last name) that my baby brother made up for me because when he couldn't pronounce my name. It's like my mn and I respond to it very quickly.

T. Marie

K.T Nunca

Probably A.J. Flowers

Selina Macduff

Selina is my name, Macduff is the name of my Scottish ancestors before they moved to Canada

*coughs* Hertz G. Hoppengeimer.

Depends on a couple things.
If I publish before I get married, I'll use a pen name, perhaps K.B. Key or similar.
If I publish after I get married and I have a cool married name, I'll use that (because I don't really like the way my current name looks in print...)
Or, if I use my pen name and then get married and am embarrassed by the kind of things I published before I get married... I'll use some other name. I dunno. It's all very complicated.

Oh god, @CaptainSaltWater. XD That's what we call our assistant principal (Mrs. AJ) She's really tall. With shortish hair. And REALLY long legs. XD
