: Re: Using a fake name for book So I want to use a fake name for my book, not my real name. How do I ensure that editors or agencies don't take advantage of that or play a trick when it comes

I don't know how the publisher would take advantage of you.

Your contract with the publisher (or agent) will be under your real name. Only then is the contract legally binding. In that contract, you will specify that you want to publish under a pseudonym (and whether your real identity must be held confidential by the publisher).

"Credit" will go to your pseudonym, as that is the name under which critics, book stores, and readers will know "you". Copyright will belong to you, the author.

Again, I don't see a way for the publisher to take advantage of you (in a way that they couldn't with a non-pseudonymous author).
