Dopest Forum Pen Name V.S Real Name group d..

For me, it really doesn't matter at all. I use my real name, though obviously just my first name. That choice is more for privacy reasons than having to do with writing. For my self-published book, I used my real name. Whether people use pen names or their real names, I honestly don't think twice about it or wonder about their reasons. Part of that might be because this is a website. If I saw a book published under what is an obvious pen name, it might strike me as kind of curious.

Suddenly it reminded me a line, What is in names? I use my real name, which was given to me by my parents, if they have given me some other name I have used that one, I feel it is not important that a writer is using a real name or pen name, or how people feel about pen names, most important is how much a writer is satisfied while writing with his/her real or pen name . Mary Ann Evans wrote under the name George Eliot and so many others have also. so it really don't matters

I'm using my middle name because I don't like the rest of my name :P but if an author uses their real name or pen name then it doesn't bother me, I often enjoy whatever they have written and I'll look out for more of their books when I can :)

I used my initials and my last name. although I wished that I had used a pen name at first it don't really matter now. I do highly advice for the new writers to use a pen name, until he or she is ready to face the writing world out there. This is a cool topic ;)

SHAWNA; thats pretty cool, i didnt know you had a book. what kinda book is it?
