Jose Said:

Is it OK to not use my real name when I'm writing inquiry letters to literary agents?

We Answered:

No agent worth working with will be put off by your Asian surname. If they were that prejudiced, trust me, you wouldn't want to work with them. Agents don't judge people by their name. If your name is so long that it would cause design problems on a book cover, or if it's hard for English speakers to spell or pronounce, they might suggest you pick a pen-name for your writing, but they wouldn't judge your query because of your name. In any case, it sounds like you already have a pen-name lined up.

Agents want to represent good authors and good books - they don't care what your name is, believe me.

All that said, you can query under your pen-name, yes, but you will have to tell the agent your real name at some point for the purposes of signing contracts and so on.
