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?
