Mary Westmacott wrote six love novels – even if in reality they are not real love stories, they do not have a happy ending, but they talk about love in its most powerful and destructive forms. Under that name hides the famous mystery author Agatha Christie. The change of direction did not please her publisher, given that the writer was becoming famous to the public with her detective stories. If Paul French 's name doesn't mean anything to you, then Isaac Asimov's name will tell you a lot. For fear that his name might be damaged by a poor television adaptation of his works, Asimov chose that pseudonym for his children's novels in the Lucky Starr series.
Colin Andrews published the medical thrillers Ingraham and Deadly Graft , but he is actually the American writer F. Paul Wilson. The choice to sign himself with that pseudonym was strategic: he served the Special Data British market, to be found at the top of the shelves and not at the end (Andrews against Wilson), where the letter "W" is generally found. But Wilson also published a novel co-written with his wife, Virgin , using her name, Mary Elizabeth Murphy, although the writer's contribution was 90%. John Le Carré is a well-known name in spy literature, but perhaps few know his real name: David John Moore Cornwell, a British secret service agent. His bosses told him to publish his novels under a pseudonym, and he chose that name.
The reasons behind the choice of the pseudonym Summing up what I have read so far, the reasons are quite varied: possibility of publishing more novels without clogging up the publishing market (King, McBain) separate the different works (Christie, Rowling) do not damage your name (Asimov) increase visibility in bookstores (Wilson) protect your identity (Cornwell) But who knows how many more there will be. From my point of view, the first one doesn't concern me and I wish it did concern me. I don't agree with the second one, the works are separate for me because they are in separate books. The third is the same as the first. Not even the fourth, I'm the "I" and I'm in the middle like parsley. The fifth might concern me if I were to write some political essay, but I will ask myself the question if and when it occurs.
