pseudonymous authorship

Pseudonymous authorship refers to the practice of an author using a fictitious name instead of their real name when publishing work. This allows them to maintain privacy or distance from their personal identity, while still sharing their ideas, stories, or research with the public. Pseudonyms can help protect an author’s anonymity, enable them to write freely without fear of judgment, or create a distinct persona that resonates with their audience. This practice is common in various fields, including literature, journalism, and online content creation, where identity management can be pivotal.
