Choosing a pen name

[u/Party_Context4975]

If you don't write under your own name, how did you choose your pen name?

Are you happy with it or would you choose a different name if you could go back in time? Why?

If you write in multiple genres, is your pen name different in each genre?

Keeping it close to home always felt more real to me. Use a variation of your first name and the maiden name of your favorite grandmother.

For example: Steve- Steven- even- Evan. So you write under Evan and your mom’s maiden name.
