Appleton, Victor
Appleton, VictorThere is actually no writer named Victor Appleton. Neither was there ever a Carolyn Keene, nor a Franklin W Dixon.

These are all pen names for a group of writers established by a man named Edward Stratemeyer.

Before the turn of the century, hundreds of children's series books had sprung from Stratemeyer's fertile mind. He found that he had far more ideas for stories and series than he could write on his own, and established a group of writers known as the Stratemeyer Syndicate.

Stratemeyer would then outline the basic plot of each book to be written, and one of the Syndicate writers (known as "ghost writers") would write the book, being paid a flat fee and no further royalties. [edit]
