Your brand...
A cleverly crafted pen name and publishing company name can contribute to your branding efforts if they’re memorable and provocative. Obviously, your own legal name can become associated with your brand, but you can also feel free to list a publishing company name in your book. You won’t need to legally register the company name unless you want to accept payments in that name. (Chapter 8)
Some authors use pen names to hide their identities while tackling controversial subjects or writing in multiple genres (i.e. creating multiple brands).
