I was published under a different name, does that make me a writer?

My story is in a book that is still on the shelves. The question has to do with a new career move.

1. Yep, so long as you want to own up to your penname
You can just put:

"Story Name," in Anthology (as Your Pen Name)

You may wanna look up the proper formatting, though (maybe the MLA handbook?).

4. Thanks. I was published in 95, but never cared until now.

6. Ask Mark Twain...
I'm sure he was a writer.
