Carolyn Keene is actually a pseudonym (fake name) used by many authors for all Nancy Drew series and the short-running River Heights series. The characters were invented by Edward Stratemeyer. Stratemeyer wanted to keep the books coming and he didn't want to wait for an author to take a long time to write a book.

Asked by Drapercl0307

No. The name Carolyn Keene, printed on every Nancy Drew book and every River Heights book, is just a pseudonym (a fake name of an author). In fact, the Nancy Drew books were written by various authors. Edward Stratemeyer actually created the characters (using the pseudonym so as not to embarrass his family if the books bombed). Since his death, the series and team of authors was carried on by his daughter.

Further information for questions about the author's death: Mildred Wirt Benson, who wrote the original Nancy Drew books died in 2002, aged 96.

There never was a person named Carolyn Keene. It was a "house name" for books by Edward Stratemeyer for the Nancy Drew books. He wrote the outline and then hired other people to write the books. Mildred Wirt Benson was the first house writer. There were others. This allowed Stratemeyer to publish books quickly. He had house writers for the Nancy Drew series, Hardy Boys and other series.
