Entertainment / Literature / Nom De Plume: Another term for a pen name. The word indicates a fictitious name that a writer employs to conceal his or her identity. For example, Samuel Clemens used the nom de plume 'Mark Twain.' William Sydney Porter wrote his short stories under the nom de plume of 'O. Henry.' Mary Ann Cross used the name 'George Eliot' to hide that she was a female writer, just as science-fiction writer Alice Bradley Sheldon used the nom de plume 'James Tiptree, Junior.' Francois-Marie Arouet used 'Voltaire.' Ben Franklin used a variety of literary aliases, and so on. One caveat: although the phrase 'nom de plume' is French, the French do not use this particular phrase to describe a literary pseudonym. What we call a nom de plume, the French would call a nom de guerre. (French, 'name of the pen')
