Ruben Ygua Edgar Rice Burroughs had worked in disparate trades until he got a comfortable job as a wholesale pencil sharpener salesman. His job left him plenty of free time which he spent reading serialized adventure novels. One day he told himself that if there were people who made money writing such bad things, even though he had never written a story, he could certainly do better. So he tried writing his own story and sent it to a magazine. It was called Under the Moons of Mars and, to protect his reputation, he signed it under the pseudonym of Norman Bean. The magazine had accepted it, was publishing it in installments and was getting a good reception.
