Would it be possible to use a pen-name during work-for-hire? And would that help?
If it's the first novel you do? I think it would help. And I do know writers who have used pen names for their work for hire work.
Then again, I can think of at least three SF writers who made a living writing porn, which is certainly a variant of writing to feed the family; I also know a lot of technical writers who also write fiction -- and no, I'm not trying to compare them <>.
