: Re: Can I give a lecture about my book without disclosing my real name? I have a non-fiction book about language learning, entrepreneurship, productivity and personal growth in general. The problem

Why would it be illegal or unethical to represent yourself as the author of the book you wrote under a different name?

I know I would go to a lecture given by John le Carre and never expect him to announce himself as anyone other than le Carre. Taking this example further, I might be disappointed should he take the podium and announce his real name. I want le Carre - oh, sorry, you just get the man who showed up. I would realize that this man was Carre, but never expect him to give his real name.

We know so many authors only by their pen names that we expect them to always go by them. Interviews with Piers Anthony were interviews with Piers Anthony.
