How to set up a second imprint and pen name to hide my legal name | Self-Publishing Set Up Bowker

For those new here, Bowker is the source for getting ISBNs here in the US. In other countries, it could be Nielsen; it could be a different division of Bowker known as Thorpe. If you’re in Canada, it’s free from your government.

If you set up an LLC, you can add that – and you should if you took the time to set up an LLC. I didn’t do that for 3 years when I got started. If you write under a pen name, you’re gonna want to set up that imprint, so the imprint isn’t your government name. As that would defeat the purpose of the pen name.

It is STUPID EASY to make a new imprint on your account. So think about it. Then proceed:
