		<description>&quot;...the challenge is to deal with the system without damaging the work.&quot;

With such a variety of subjects and forms, not long ago some publishers might encourage adoption of pseudonyms for different genres, but in this age of social identity branding I&#039;d expect the opposite.  Is that still an issue, or are readers publishers more comfortable with encountering the unexpected when they open a familiar writer&#039;s new work?

What if the areas are even farther apart... if Palahniuk had a series of children&#039;s books to release, for instance?

Or you could use this one old weird trick Jeffery is going to tell us about.</description>
