About This Quote

A pen name is a nickname. A pen name is a pseudonym, generally given by an author for their work, which is named after the author. Taking on a new name for one’s writing is an act of independence, but it can also be seen as an act of escape. Many people prefer to write under a pseudonym because they are not willing to reveal their true identities to the world. The concern is that if the name is revealed, so will the writer’s true identity.
