[Journalists] Question for the Pros

[LoriStay at aol.com]

So far as I know, when you submit an article or book, etc, you put your name 
and address on it, and can put any name you use as a byline under the title, 
but request payment to you.   I never heard that you need to file something in 
the newspaper.   You are not, after all, changing your name, just adopting a 
pen name.

Hi Everyone,
I have a question about using a pen name. What happens when you get
paid? Do you have to register the pen name in some way, or can you just
sign it and put 'AKA with your real name? Any thoughts?
