How do you publish your writing?
Getting your book traditionally published is a step-by-step process of:
- Determining your genre or category of work.

- Preparing your submissions materials (a query letter, usually).
- Submitting your materials to agents or editors.
Should I use a pen name as an author?
To use or not use a pen name or pseudonym is a personal choice. There’s not really a right or wrong answer on this—unless you do share a name with a well-known author and/or celebrity.
Do I need to copyright my pen name?
Copyright does not protect pseudonyms or other names. If you write under a pseudonym but want to be identified by your legal name in the Copyright Office’s records, give your legal name and your pseudonym on your application for copyright registration. You can use a pseudonym for the claimant name.
Can you remain anonymous as an author?
Can You Publish a Book Anonymously? Yes, you can publish anonymously, and many authors prefer to publish some or all of their books this way. But you should make sure that it is the right choice for you.
How many pen names can you have?
Amazon will only let you have three pen names under one Author Central account. It isn’t TERRIBLE to have multiple pen names (more on that below), but if you can keep things easy, DO. If you’re writing books that are related or might have a larger crossover audience, then don’t do a pen name.
