I am a children’s author who recently immigrated to Canada, coming from a background deeply rooted in Eastern storytelling. In many Eastern cultures, storytelling traditions lean heavily on oral narration and mythic structure, bringing the style closer to folktales than to Western short stories or novels. Eastern writers, especially those creating for children, often focus on tales with symbolic or legendary qualities rather than conventional narratives.
I'm currently working on a book that tells a true and deeply personal story about domestic abuse. While I believe sharing it could help others, I’m am concerned about maintaining my anonymity for personal and emotional reasons.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience or advice on publishing under a pseudonym. Specifically:
What steps should I take to protect my identity during the publishing process?
