Sell a story but staying anonymous

I really want to start writing up some true stories but how can I do so by staying anonymous?

    Many famous authors have used pen names - the publishers knew their real names - but nobody else - would that work for you?
    If many little people, in many little places, do many little things,
    they can change the face of the world.

    Thank you. I think that would be great. Can you suggest any website where I can email my stories? I find so many websites but I don't know which is best and safe to chose.

    Sorry but I don't - maybe someone else on this forum has experience in this area and can advise.

    Were it me - I would google and try and find a forum just like this one - but for writers and authors - where you can interact with others just like you - I am sure there will be a site of that type out there somewhere. Good luck - whatever.

    Writers' News have a forum which might have some information for you.

    Click here to go straight to the forum, but it might be worth looking around the rest of the site as well. I subscribe to their magazines and find them useful.

    The other thing you could do is start a blog for your stories.

    Try www.blogger.com as it's free, and quite easy to use.

    [Edit: I forgot, the 'selling' bit would be through AdSense or something similar. I used to have a blog, where I also linked to my Amazon bookshop.]
