Why Pen Names Aren’t Just for Branding

This week on Authors Off Script, we're talking about pen names—and why they can be about so much more than creating an author persona. For many writers, using a pen name is a creative or marketing choice. But it can also be a way to protect your privacy, your personal life, and sometimes even your physical safety. We chat about why authors might choose not to publish under their legal names, the boundaries between an author's public and private life, and how much personal information we're really expected to share online just because we write books.
