| | Stratemeyer Syndicate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The books would be written under a pseudonym. | | | The books would, of course, be in a series; and to more quickly see if the series was likely to be successful, Stratemeyer had several volumes published at once, referred to as 'breeders' (turning out multiple books posed him no problems). | | | Each book would begin with a quick recap of all previous books in that series. |

| | The History of the Hardy Boys |
| | Stratemeyer would outline the basic plot of each book to be written, and one of the Syndicate writers (known as "ghosts") would write the book, being paid a flat fee and no further royalties. | | | Most of the early Stratemeyer books were adventure tales. | | | The new publisher gave the books (and the Hardys) and all-new look, and paperback editions were published along with hardcovers. |

| | Stratemeyer sent him outlines, cautioning McFarlane to remember that these books were less flashy than their cheaper counterparts: “You perhaps understand our cloth books go in a different field from the paper volumes and the stories are not quite so melodramatic.” The books were to be two hundred and sixteen pages and twenty-five chapters. | | | In 1930, the syndicate was inherited by Stratemeyer’s daughters, Edna Stratemeyer and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams. | | | Stratemeyer checked the manuscripts for discrepancies, made sure that each book had exactly fifty jokes, and cut or expanded as needed. |

| | In the dime novel and story paper industry, writers could be given a flat fee for completing a 60,000-word story with as little as a title from which to base it. | | | In fact, the current versions of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew volumes are produced by MegaBooks, a book packager who hires writers to complete stories based upon simple outlines and titles. | | | The revised editions of the stories have only 20 chapters and almost exactly 180 pages. |

| | Edward Stratemeyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Through his Stratemeyer Syndicate Stratemeyer produced short plot summaries for the novels in each series, which he sent to other writers who completed the story, writing a specified number of pages and chapters. | | | Each book would begin with an introduction of the characters and would be interrupted at the first cliffhanger for a quick recap of all the previous books in the series. | | | Stratemeyer pioneered the technique of producing long-running, consistent series of books using a team of freelance authors to write standardized novels, which were published under a pen name owned by his company. |

Winfield, a revelation which he assiduously forbade the parade of ghostwriters that populated the syndicate he established shortly after his creation of The Bobbsey Twins series. |
