Writers' Alliance of Gainesville - Rebecca Heflin

What’s in a Name? The Perks & Pitfalls of Pen Names

Join us at 2:30 pm for our monthly meeting of the Writers' Alliance of Gainesville. Award-winning author, Rebecca Heflin, will discuss pen names and their impact on creativity, branding, and beyond.

Join Rebecca Heflin on Sunday, June 9 at 2:30 p.m. at the Millhopper Branch as she discusses pen names and their impact on creativity, branding, and beyond. Thinking of writing under a pen name? Before you buy that domain name and set up a social media platform, learn the strategic advantages and potential challenges they present for writers. Whether you’re an aspiring author seeking anonymity, a seasoned writer exploring new genres, or simply curious about the psychology behind literary personas, this session promises to enlighten and inspire.

Rebecca Heflin is a bestselling, award-winning author of women’s fiction and contemporary romance. She has dreamed of writing romantic fiction since she was fifteen and her older sister sneaked a copy of Kathleen Woodiwiss’ Shanna to her and told her to read it. Rebecca has received the Florida Writers Association’s Royal Palm Literary Award four times, among many other recognitions. She is a member of Romance Writers of America (RWA), RWA Aged to Perfection Seasoned Romance Writers, RWA Contemporary Romance, and Florida Writers Association. www.rebeccaheflin.com
