    Ah. I have now discovered that it takes a moderator to change it. Could that be possible? I would like something a bit more professional as a name.

    We can change your username while you are a new member only ( ie before 14 days and 20 posts)

    What do you want it changed to?

    If you can, I'd like it changed to Jonathan B. Cook.

    It’s not normally a great idea to use your real name

    It's not. It is merely my pen name, haha.

    It’s not a fantastic idea to use your pen name either… forums it’s best to use something anonymous like well lanterwick or big soft moose

    It'll only be for online interaction, not my book. I have two pen names. That way people won't connect what I discuss here with spoilers.

    And the thing about my current name is it is not so anonymous. That is why I want it changed. That and I tend to prefer how professional the other one sounds.

    That sounds more like an online alias/handle than a pen name. If it's not used for published or self published work, or a very popular blog, I wouldn't call it a pen name.
