Author Names

So I've never thought my name sounds like an author name:

Lisa. Aldin.

Hmm. It just doesn't sound very author-y.

It seems like everyone else out there has an author name. For example, a few of the favorite blogs I follow:

Marsha Sigman


Stephanie Faris

Natalie Whipple

There are more, of course, but those are just a few I picked out. There are more. They sound so AUTHOR-Y!

I can see their names so easily on a book. Mine? Eh.

I was thinking that if I ever do get to that glorious stage of publication, maybe I could swing one of these pen names:

THE AUTHOR
THE OTHER STEPHANIE MEYER BUT WITHOUT VAMPIRES AND STUFF.
THE PEN FAIRY.
LOOK AT ME. I WROTE SOMETHING.
READ THIS BOOK PLEASE.
SALLY MANDER.
IVANA TINKLE.

I could totally see any of those on a book cover!

  1. LOL, I laughed out loud at this. My favorite pen name has to be 'LOOK AT ME. I WROTE SOMETHING'.

    That is hysterical or 'Ivana Tinkle'.LOL

    I want to thank you so much for saying my name is author-y. Because I don't think it is. I like your name and it's going to look awesome on your book!

  3. I was worried about my name too...mostly because it's so weird...I think your name is a perfect author name.
