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.
