Pen Names - Use It or Lose It?

I’m going to point the finger right back at you for the answer on this one
(nobodies tip-toeing over words, scared to keep it real with you on this
writing advice blog). Why??? Because it
actually all depends on your lifestyle, and the type of book you are releasing.
Is it fiction or non-fiction? Written strictly for adults or for children? Is
the content rachet-raunchy or no? These are just a few key factors for you to
think about my Author girl/guy friend.

Is the author Name as important as the Book Title?

You might ask what I mean by that. Well, it has everything
to do with making yourself memorable. In addition to having a BOMB book cover
and an interesting title, your author name does freakin’ account for a lot. For
instance, if your author name is Islandia Forrestwhittle, it won’t be any good
to the reader who is trying to recall what your name is so that they can
purchase the book. And here’s the worst part of it all, while they’re out there doing a search to find you, another
book could have them sidetracked which equates to an epic-fail-book-sale.

I’m Hunter Hayes the author. Holla at Ya’ Girl

It’s a different day, but my motto of marketing, marketing,
marketing yourself hasn’t changed. Create a super interesting author name if
you don’t already have one. It’s just as simple as that. For more info on Pen
