JEWISH WRITERS

JEWISH WRITERS
   It's well known that many female SF writers had to use pseudonyms in order to get work published. It’s less known that Jewish SF writers were pressured to use less Jewish-sounding names for their bylines.John W. Campbell, editor of Astounding, even tried to convince Isaac Asimov toadopt a less "foreign-sounding" byline. However, Campbell was among the few who allowed writer Horace Gold to use his own name on his stories.The reason? Gold had taken the pseudonym "Clyde Crane Campbell" and John Campbell didn’t want someone with his own name in the pages of Astounding.
