Laura Anderson | 41 comments Hi guys! I wrote a book, blah blah blah, but my name (Laura Lee Anderson) is too close to Laurie Halse Anderson (at least in my opinion). Anyway, I need help from you guys to help me find a pen name! You can either vote here in a comment or on my blog at:
http://lauraleeanderson.wordpress.com...

Here are the choices:
A) Laura Lee Anderson
B) Laura Lee Brautigam (my maiden name)
C) Laura Lee Bailey
D) Laura Lee Birdd
E) Laura Anderson Lee
F) LL Anderson

BTW- the book is a chick-written, guy-driven YA alternate reality called Bleeder and it rocks my socks off. Looking for an agent now. :)

Shae (shaelit) I'd say LL Anderson OR... just Laura Lee. Lee is a common enough last name that it wouldn't look odd, no one would have difficulty remembering or spelling it, and it rolls off the tongue nicely. (Props to your parents for having a good ear for that sort of thing.)

Shelby (saleslady93) | 11 comments I like the first one. I'm also a writer, my Pen name is "Aaron Greene"


message 13: by R.M.F. (new)

R.M.F. Brown I would go for something to intimidate the opposition. Why not 'Mad' Laura Lee Anderson, or maybe something French like Laura Le Anderson! :)

I like E for some reason it has a nice ring, also the L section is in the middle of shelves and stuff easy to find :)
