Let me know if you have any specific pen name questions I can answer for you.<BR/><BR/>Stina, you are totally right - there are authors who manage to do it all, which reminded me of a quote from another post of Nathan Bransford's: "There are indeed authors who are able to branch out into multiple genres, who write wildly different types of books, and who are successful in different genres. These people also tend to eat coffee grounds for breakfast and mainline Red Bull." LOL! The rest of the post is here if anyone is interested: http://nathanbransford.blogspot.com/2009/01/questions-answered-kind-of.html<BR/><BR/>Janyece, I'm excited to share what I know about pen names, and I've polled published authors for their advice, so it should be informative. :)<BR/><BR/>Tabitha, I write for children as well and am so glad that there is some wiggle room in our genres. ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks, everyone, for loving my froggie!Suzette Saxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401538008029407734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-40065623394798938292009-03-25T13:06:00.000-04:002009-03-25T13:06:00.000-04:00Great post!

Good to know there's at least one successful author writing all kinds of children's lit. :)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-28977447783878025952009-03-25T12:12:00.000-04:002009-03-25T12:12:00.000-04:00This was a great article!

I particularly like the leaping frog on this one though. ;)<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to hear more on pen names.

Because they're best-selling authors, there's an expectation, from their fans, that they have to publish a new book every year. Which means they have to write two books a year, plus have two book tours because to target audience is so different. Where do they find the energy?<BR/><BR/>Great article and love the froggie!Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-15576352257861769802009-03-25T10:42:00.000-04:002009-03-25T10:42:00.000-04:00As every QT article... great!
