Accidental Authoress
When Pen Names Lead to Real-Life Swaps: The Hilarious Heart of “Accidental Authoress”
Hey readers, sometimes the best stories are the ones we never saw coming. “Accidental Authoress” started as a fascination with the ridiculous: What if you won a huge award under a different gender name, and were forced to keep that ruse up? This was the seed from which “Accidental Authoress” grew.
What begins as a simple case of mistaken identity soon spirals into a chaotic journey of self-discovery. Tagosaku Morimura, a self-professed hater of his own name, takes on a pen name Saori Morimura only to get trapped into actually becoming her. The story takes aim at everything, from gender roles to family expectations to the eccentricities of the publishing world. I wanted to push boundaries, and I am very excited to share this unusual journey.
If you are looking for a novel that blends humor, suspense, and heart in a completely original way, then “Accidental Authoress” is your next must-read.
