In 1623, almost all of the plays we attribute to Shakespeare were published in a large and lavish book by two former actors in The King's Men, John Heminges and Henry Condell. The book calls Shakespeare the author of the plays and contained testimonials to Shakespeare's skill as a playwright. Many of the plays had already been published and attributed to William Shakespeare earlier.
Was this "William Shakespeare" someone's pen-name or was it the name of a real person? Well, one of the founding members of The King's Men was a man called William Shakespeare, who is also listed as an actor in productions of plays put on by them, and was referred to by others, so there was a real person by that name. Nobody ever uses the name of a real person as a pen-name, and especially not the name of a real person who is involved in the same business. (Imagine what would happen if you tried to write a book under the pen-name J.K. Rowling!)
This William Shakespeare would seem to be the same person as a William Shakespeare who was born, was married and had children in Stratford-upon-Avon. Court documents suggest that the Stratford Shakespeare had business interests in London, and there is no record of him having business interests in Stratford, although he bought property there with money he got from someplace. There is no evidence of a William Shakespeare who was born at about the same time somewhere else. Most convincingly, the Stratford Shakespeare left property in his will to Heminges and Condell, the two guys who published the plays. There is also a funeral monument in the church in Stratford, erected by the widow of the Stratford Shakespeare, which shows him as a writer and bears a strong resemblance to the guy on the title page of the Folio.
