Query with your real name. You don't even have to ask about a pseudonym. Just type the pseudonym you want to use under the title of the story, and that's the name that will appear in the byline.

For Evernight, I queried under my real name and only settled on the pseudonym later. The publisher had no problem with that. Soon I'll be trying to branch into a new genre with a new pseud; I'll have to ask my agent how best to handle it!
I signed my query letters in this fashion:
"Sincerely, Susie Smith (writing under the pen name Suzanne Spectacular)"
It was never any kind of problem; when it came to signing contracts and publishers' info sheets there was always a space for "Legal Name" and "Pseudonym."

Contract
Interesting. I've never seen a contract where the writer had to sign his pseudonym.
