Do I have to disclose my pen name as an Alias to immigration?

If I publish under a pen name, and create author pages on social media under my pen name BUT sign all my contracts and legal documents in my legal name and NEVER use my pen name for anything legal or business-related, do I still need to disclose my pen name as an Alias in Form DS-160 (Tourist visa to the US)? Or any legal form, really?
