Carolyn Keene is a pseudonymous pen name used by a series of authors who wrote the Nancy Drew books for the Stratemeyer Syndicate. The real identity of the author who started the series is Mildred Wirt Benson. She was hired to write the first Nancy Drew book in 1930 because Edward Stratemeyer wanted a new series featuring a young female detective.

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.
