Greetings, my fiction-loving friend! Welcome to the wonderful world of novel-writing. I’m so pumped that you are joining me for this journey, and I can’t wait to get to know you and your characters and your stories.
You’re probably wondering who I am, so let me introduce myself by saying that I, author DK Drake, do not exist.
You read that right. DK Drake doesn’t exist. I made her up, just like I make up the characters in my books. In other words, DK Drake is my pen name.
Why did I choose to write under this pen name? What do the D and the K stand for? What’s my true identity?
More importantly, should you use a pen name when you publish your book?
I can’t answer that last question for you, but I can give you three good reasons to absolutely NOT use a pen name and share why I did anyway so you can make an informed decision about the right choice for you.
