What should my pseudonym be?

Choosing a pseudonym can be as daunting as naming a character, especially since the character is you. The simplest pen name would be a variation of your own name, such as a middle name, nickname, or initials. Many authors change only their last name so they don’t have to remember what first name to use at conferences.

It’s quite common for artists from all mediums to use pseudonyms. However, there can be legal repercussions. Before signing off with a pen name, you should carefully consider why you may use it, how to protect your real identity, and the risks involved.

How do I register a pseudonym?

How do I legally register a pseudonym?

Is it illegal to have a pseudonym?

Using a pen name does not provide any special legal privileges, nor shield a writer from say, a breach of contract claim (see No. 7 below).
