Pen Names



Your novel or book of poetry is being published! Do you use a pen name?

Yes! Pen names are fun and I like the anonymity.

No! I worked hard on that thing, I want the credit.

Maybe—it depends on the content.

Kind of: I'd use a slightly altered version of my actual name.

If I do ever reach a publication stage, I suppose I'll use my real name. I enjoy its peculiar history and have no stigma attached to it. Pen names are fun from my perspective, however, so, if I ever need to write something that I would like to make sure isn't attached to my name, I'll use a pen name.

Though, only once I've gathered enough talent that my writing patterns aren't recognizable. I'd say that using a pen name would be useless to me, if my style is too easily recognizable.
Greetings.

Call me Mory.

I'm working on a worldbuilding project called The Wonders of Pujil Archipelago. You can find it here: The Wonders of Pujil Archipelago
