Pen Name

What’s an appropriate pen-name for a poet on the climb for fame? First of all, it should have a ring to it, a certain literary allure about it. Make it clever, give it an appeal even though it isn’t yours or real. Choose a name that draws the ear and promises a lucrative career. Sound and purposeful psychology when coupled with creativity will boost sales for years to come – a strategy that pays a handsome sum. But you should know immediately it’s not fullproof, with no guarantee that a name (real or not) will do what a hopeful writer wants it to – increase his reputation and sales. It’s a risk, and a risk often fails. I should know, for of my many pseudos none have brought me sales or kudos.
