Sign with my pen name or my real name? This might be pretty obvious heh but I was just wondering. And if I'm signing with my real name, how/when should I tell the agent about wanting to use a pen name?
Also... what's your thoughts on pen names? I want to do mine because I really don't feel like having my name mispronounced over and over. That and there's sentimental meaning behind "Angela T. Marie"
With a query letter use your real name, always. However, a line about your pen name, but only if you have been published before under this pen name and are referring to your writing credits in the query.
Make sure it's a name that's always going to have a sentimental meaning for you...like they suggest with tattoos . If you're 15 and your first boyfriend calls you the name, chances are it might not be that sentimental in 5 years LOL.Also... what's your thoughts on pen names?
