Hi all,

I recently went wide, using D2D (Three weeks ago). Sales have been crazy on Apple, and now I'm wondering if I should go direct with them. I have a few ratings, that I'll lose, but this is the time to make the move (before too many ratings come in). I just wondered a few things:

1, Can I use a pseudonym with Apple? How do I do this?
2, While I transition from D2D to Apple, do the books go off sale? (How can I make this process smoother? I don't want to lose my current visibility, if I can help it.)

I have a Mac & iTunes Connect but I've not explored Connect yet due to the issue with the names.

Any and all advice welcome.

Thanks.

You can use a pen name as your author name, but your real name will be entered as the publisher name unless you specifically request it. There was a thread on it a few weeks back, which might be helpful.

Thanks, just had a look. I have an EIN which lists both names, so I'm going to try that.

Does anyone know about the transition from D2D to Apple? Will my books come down entirely? Will I lose my current ranking/visibility?
