AI-powered pen names for Amazon KDP authors. Genre-specific, memorable, and professional.
💡 Get names that match your book's vibe and atmosphere
A pen name (pseudonym) is a fictional name used by authors instead of their real name. Many successful Amazon KDP authors use pen names to build their brand, protect their privacy, or write in multiple genres.
Why It Matters: Your author name is your brand. The right pen name can help you stand out in a crowded marketplace, build reader trust, and create distinct identities for different genres. Romance readers expect different author names than thriller readers.
How Our Generator Helps: Our AI-powered tool analyzes genre conventions, cultural trends, and reader expectations to suggest pen names that resonate with your target audience. Get professional, memorable names in seconds.
Create distinct brands for different genres. Write romance as "Sarah Summers" and thrillers as "Jack Stone" to build separate reader bases with clear expectations.
Keep your personal identity separate from your author career. Protect yourself from unwanted attention while building your public author brand.
Choose a name that sounds authoritative and fits your niche. A professional pen name builds credibility and reader trust in your genre.
Create a name that's easy to remember, spell, and search for. Stand out in Amazon's crowded marketplace with a distinctive author brand.
Choosing the right pen name is crucial for your author brand. Here are the key factors that make a pen name successful on Amazon KDP:
Romance authors often use flowing, elegant names (e.g., "Isabella Rose") while thriller authors choose sharp, memorable names (e.g., "Jack Stone"). Match your name to reader expectations in your genre.
Readers should be able to find you easily when searching on Amazon. Avoid complex spellings or unusual characters that make your name hard to remember or type.
A distinctive name helps you stand out in a crowded market. Use alliteration (e.g., "Sarah Summers"), initials (e.g., "J.K. Rowling"), or unique combinations that stick in readers' minds.
Check Amazon Author Central, social media platforms, and domain availability before committing. You want to own your brand across all platforms.
