I don't use my middle name (not even the initial) except for legal documents, so want to use it for my books. But when the droves of fans want my signature (hey. It could happen.), do I autograph with my "real" name or the name on the book? Same with bank accounts or whatever.<br />GaleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-961692956630864412015-01-09T02:12:53.270-05:002015-01-09T02:12:53.270-05:00Good information.

I've been wondering about whether to use my real name or a pseudonym.<br /><br />When you've been known as Author X for a while, then start writing under a pseudonym as Author Y, do you have to give up 100% of Author X's fan base? Yes, readers might discover you all over again, but in terms of announcing your new book, can you use the e-mail list Author X built? If not, how do you acquire a new following?<br /><br />Also, do you have to open a new bank account for the new persona or do you still get paid as your "real name"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
