Carolyn Keene

The beloved Nancy Drew mystery series was attributed to Carolyn Keene, but did you know that this was actually a pseudonym? The stories were produced by Stratemeyer Syndicate, who hired writers like Mildred Wirt to write the manuscripts for the popular books. Sadly, they were paid just $125 per book and were forced to give up rights to the works as well as maintain confidentiality.
