I have a non-fiction book about language learning, entrepreneurship, productivity and personal growth in general. The problem is: I have published this book using a **pen name** (pseudonym). I would prefer to keep myself anonymous, as the book is filled with personal stories and experiences that I had with other people and even real-world companies and universities. However, I would also like to give some lectures about the topics included in the book, in order to promote it. **The question is:** can I give a lecture using just my pen name, without revealing my real name and affiliations? Would it be unethical or even forbidden by law? As an alternative, I thought about including myself as a co-author, but this also seems to be unusual.
