What do I do if I self-publish using a pseudonym or pen name?
If you self-publish using a pseudonym or pen name, please ensure that you use the pseudonym or pen name as the publisher name rather than your actual/real name when completing the ‘Publisher details’ section. This is because the publisher name will appear in the description of the publication on Trove, the National Library of Australia’s catalogue and relevant member library catalogues.
Please use your actual/real name when completing the ‘Your details’ section. This is required to enable legal deposit communications with publishers and for the purpose of managing the joint digital collection.
