Talk:Sophie Kinsella

Untitled
Does anyone know why she writes under both her real name and a pseudonym? (And can anyone source that Madeleine = Sophie? Not that I doubt it so much as I'd like to read it.) Melissa Della 19:25, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I've answered my own question from the Barnes & Noble page which says, 'In an interview with her publisher, Kinsella reveals her true identity: "My secret is out! That's right, I'm really Madeleine Wickham. In fact I've written several books under that name. But when I had the idea for the first Shopaholic book, I knew I wanted it to be really different. So in order not to confuse my British audience, I took a pseudonym. Of course, I had no idea that Sophie would become so huge!"' Unfortunately, there's no link to the actual interview.
 * 'Madeleine' Wickham would also I suspect, allow people to judge the author by assumed age and class. Sophie is a more popular name for young women in the UK, whereas 'Madeleine' is a very 'posh' or old-fashioned name. (Not dissing her by saying this, I'm a great fan.)Merkinsmum 04:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Influences??
Something about the influences doesn't sound very professional and academic. Perhaps it could be reworded, or just removed completely? Xylogirl07 (talk) 15:34, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Madeleine Wickham → Sophie Kinsella – As per wp:Commonname - this is by far and away the more popular name. Those books originally published under her birthname are now also published under her far more successful penname.  Nik the  stoned  14:17, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
