Best thing to do is file for an LLC. LLCs are very flexible and if you are the only owner you file your taxes the same as if you merely were a sole proprietor. An an LLC had some liability protection; a dba has none.

Who would have thought there were so many spammers targeting indie authors. From offering me services for a cost that I can access for free to my personal favourite, confusing me with an author from the 1800s... I know menopause is rough but 140yr old really?

Did you know?

In the Victorian era, poison bottles were designed to be unmistakable — even in the dark.

Their glass was often ribbed or studded, so one could feel the danger before seeing it, and they were made in cobalt blue or green so they stood out from ordinary medicine.

It shows a photograph of a Victorian era poison bottle. It's in a hexagonal shape and has a textured surface with the words, "Not To Be Taken" engraved on it.

Something wicked this way writes...

A digital painting of a collection of items resting on a tabletop. A large, vibrant pumpkin is the main focus, framed by lit candles dripping wax onto the table top, scattered pieces of candy wrapped in colorful paper, and a ladle leaned against the pumpkin. Two envelopes are partially hidden by the many objects, but one can faintly make out the text on them: evlab is written on the left, and one can just make out October written on the right envelope. END ID.
