Here’s a fun infographic from PrinterInks about pen names. Who had what pen name? How were the most prolific authors with pseudonyms and more. Some will be familiar–we all knew Mark Twain was a pen name, right? Others might not be. I’ll even admit that I didn’t recognize some of the authors (pen or real), but I won’t admit which ones. I’d hate to be accused of not reading the “right books.”

However, some of you might not be so shy so feel free to share your surprises (if any) in the comments. And if you want to stay mum and just enjoy the graphic, that’s fine too. We won’t judge you.
