I sometimes feel that statements like that are bogus, though. to me, if they really wanted to have a secret identity (so that their writing gets judged by different criteria?) then I feel that they shouldn't advertise it that it is in fact a secret identity.

[ketita]

^^ this. It sounds pretty fake.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, same. if i bothered with a secret identity in the first place, i definitely wouldn't hint at who I really was. better to just be some unknown nobody rather than 'unknown famous author'.

[silverr]

Exactly! I just don't get it.

[(Anonymous)]

They want to be judged by their writing without their reputation but they still want people to read it. If they were just some random nobody their book would likely be unpopular. It's like when JK Rowling tried to write under a pseudonym and then had to come out because no one was reading it.

[iggy]

She came out because she was outed by the press. For what appeared to be a first time author, the sales of the book were actually pretty decent even before her identity was revealed.

[silverr]

Yeah, that makes sense: it's basically a marketing thing.

(For some reason I was thinking that the secret referred to a fanfic writer, which I realize now was completely silly on my part. Amazing how much clearer one thinks after a night's sleep. *g*)
