To Name or Pseudonym (Article) - 1/7/2003 3:28:26 AM
Obviously, I'm partial to Andrea! Or maybe not so obviously. I remember hating it when I was a girl in school. There were almost none others then (60's). Now it seems more popular as a name, but the pronunciation and spelling tend to get mangled. I like the AA initials too.
One thing to watch out for when you sell a manuscript is if YOU own your pseudonym or the publisher does. Bummer, if you build up a following for Olive Oyl and then switch publishers and can't take th name!
