You act like this is something new. Writers have used pseudonyms for as long as writing has existed, often to avoid this issue.

- hellbannedguy 5y agoI haven't figured out why more people don't use pseudonyms in this era? Of all times in history, this seems like the time to use a nom de plume? I haven't figured out if it's ego preventing people from anonymity, or they think their name will eventually get out there---so why not happily sign my name to my work? I do get it that publishing has vastly changed over the years. It seems like the most talented writers will never get a book if they don't publish themselfs? While the guy whom gets the most internet publicity, for any reason, gets a book deal?
- spoonjim 5y agoA lot of publishing is for building ones personal brand so you can get jobs, speaking engagements, invitations to cool parties, etc. can’t really do that psuedonymously.
