'''Mona Briarly:''' My first ex-husband said writing crime novels wasn't very lady-like. Turned out, he was lady-like enough for the both of us!

The chicanery doesn't always end there. The "About the Author" blurb may lack a photograph and deftly avoid using any identifying pronouns, and if the author is ''really'' leaning into it, their official website and social media pages may also lack any personal photos or biographical info, focusing just on the books.
Sometimes successful and well-known female authors will create a Moustache De Plume if they are publishing a type of book well outside their normal material. For instance, romance novelist Creator/NoraRoberts published mystery books under the pseudonym J.D. Robb. But after Roberts started getting famous in the literary world, the mystery series was credited to "Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb."[[note]]Ironically, "Nora Roberts" is itself a pen name.

However, this has not stopped many women from writing and successfully publishing their works. They just have to pull small sleight of hand: conceal their gender. Since authors are usually not on film and therefore not seen, this can be done simply by adopting a pen name. Typically, female authors take one of three approaches.

The Mustache De Plume is the age-old practice of female authors taking a male PenName for professional purposes. There exists a belief that novels written by women, at least in certain genres, won't sell. Perhaps it's the stereotype that women only know how to write fluffy romances and children's literature. Perhaps it's because historically most of the works considered the great masterpieces of the literary canon were written by men. Perhaps it's because certain fandoms are predominantly male and publishers assume these men won't take books by female authors seriously, such as hard science fiction, gritty spy thrillers, or gay male romance.[[note]]There ''is'' a female market for male/male romance novels, but there's a marked difference between the ones written for women, and the ones written for gay men. A female author might take a male or ambiguous pen name to signify that she's not ''just'' writing [[GuyOnGuyIsHot guy-on-guy fantasies]] for other women but wants her novel to appeal to gay men too.[[/note]] In years past, many publishers wouldn't even consider a novel with a female name attached to it.
