I am entering the third year of a science research class and I need to make progress on my project this summer; I would really appreciate it if you could take this survey: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AZZCYKEV4

If you don't accept pen names--and I realize that could become difficult--I think you should use a different example than Gideon's Day, which was written under the name J.J.Marric.

For that reason I made Marric the only pen name that is accepted, but I spelt it wrong. Sorry about that

W. E. Daniel "Dan" Ross, a Canadian writer, wrote over 300 books, according to wikipedia (most notably the novelizations of "Dark Shadows", under the pen name of Marilyn Ross). Might want to consider him if you make any additions.

What about Corin Tellado? Some say she published over 4000 novels.

This is a problem because my source is rather old, I tried to update it but clearly I have made some omissions, for now I've made the suggested writers bonus answers while I ruminate
