LWW 71: Pen Names - a podcast by Lesbians Who Write

Is it possible the duo are becoming morning peeps?

TB announces some changes to I Heart Lesfic to help lighten her workload. She’s on the second draft of her London novella, and she’s also making progress on season three of Girl Love Happens. TB makes an ice cream announcement that may result with a lot of hate mail.Clare had peeps over for a BBQ. TB didn’t know they (BBQs and people) still existed. In big news, Clare’s lockdown novella is with the editor and will be released in mid-July. She’s giving it away free to her newsletter subscribers, so sign up, folks! In even bigger news, Clare has made great progress on her London 7 romance and has figured out story aspects of London 8 and 9. Wowzers!

They move on to pen name chat, and TB starts off by saying “what does TB stand for?” is one of the most popular questions she gets. So, why did TB pick TB? She’s insanely private and about one step away from being a recluse.Clare Lydon is Clare’s actual name! She always wanted to see her name on a book cover, but if she could go back in time, she’d probably go the pen name route.

They list reasons to choose a pen name and what you should consider when making your selection. Clare cautions authors to put a lot of thought into their pen name (don’t be a TB), since it’ll be part of your author brand.Do you have a pen name? Why or why not?
