OK, knew Guido would set me right (chuckling here). Thanks, never thought of
anyone wanting to check by the real name so if it happens to me I will put the
pseudonym in parentheses!

Another, and perhaps better way to handle pseudonyms is to list the actual
author, and put the pseudonym in parenthesis, preceeded by 'writing as'. So
for example,
Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman)
This ensures that a search for both the actual author, as well as for the
pseudonym, will find the book in question.

Hi, Natasha,
I have had the same situation; what I've done is to list the author as that
which is shown on the book's cover or throughout the book. Therefore, if John
Doe appears throughout the book as the author, even though it might be shown
that he is writing as somebody else, or if the book is published by the author
under his/her "rea" name, I would just use the predominant name which appears
throughout the book. I hope that this helps.

Hi all,
Out of curiosity I'm scanning a book now that I'm unsure how to list the
author for submission. I have a couple like this so let's say the book says
John Doe writing as C. L. Smith. Do i list the author as Doe or Smith?
