Easy to Remember

Choose a name readers can recognize and remember after seeing it once.

Easy to Spell and Pronounce

A simple name makes it easier for readers to search for you and recommend your books.

Right for Your Genre

A name that works for a romance author may feel out of place on a thriller or fantasy book. Choose a style that fits what you write.

Distinctive

Your name should stand out without being too similar to another well-known author.

Something You Can Grow With

Think beyond your first book. Your pen name may eventually appear on your books, website, social profiles, and future publications.

Pen Name or Real Name: Which Should You Use?

Not every writer needs a pen name. The right choice depends on what you want from your author identity.

A Pen Name May Be Right for You If...

• You want to keep your personal and writing life separate.
• You want more privacy.
• You write in different genres.
• You want to create a new author identity.
• You prefer a name that is easier to remember or market.

Your Real Name May Be Better If...

• You already have an audience under your real name.
• Your professional background is important to your books.
• You want all your work under one identity.

Common Pen Name Mistakes to Avoid

1. Choosing a Name That's Hard to Remember

A complicated name may be difficult for readers to search for or recommend.

2. Choosing a Name That's Too Similar to Another Author

Check for similar names before publishing, especially within your genre.

3. Choosing a Name That Doesn't Fit Your Books

Think about how the name will look and feel on your book covers and author pages.

4. Assuming AI Guarantees a Unique Name

AI can create fresh ideas, but you still need to check whether someone else is already using the name.

5. Thinking Only About Your First Book

Choose a name that can work for your future books and your long-term author presence.
