…a ghostwritten author still probably wouldn't publish more than one or two books a month. Beyond that point, you're just competing with yourself. (For instance, young adult series like Goosebumps, The Baby-Sitters Club, or Animorphs typically published a book every month or two.) Publishing multiple books per day is out of the question. That's beyond even what's reasonable for an editor to skim through and rubber-stamp.
Especially books in genres where the norm is very short books—like intermediate-grades kids' books (Goosebumps, Boxcar Children, Animorphs, Nancy Drew, The Baby-Sitters Club) or romance novels. Bonus points if you can re-use the same two or three chapter-by-chapter beat-for-beat outlines over and over. Of course, that quality also makes those sort of books the easiest to…

……一个找枪手代笔的作者，大概一个月也不会出版超过一两本书。超过这个频率，你就是在跟自己竞争了。（例如像《鸡皮疙瘩》（Goosebumps）、《保姆俱乐部》（The Baby-Sitters Club）或《变形人》（Animorphs）这样的青少系列，通常也就一两个月出一本。）一天出好几本书是绝不可能的。那甚至已经超出了一个编辑粗略过一遍然后盖章通过的合理极限。

尤其是那些普遍篇幅很短的类型书——比如中学生童书（《鸡皮疙瘩》、《棚车少年》、《变形人》、《南希·朱尔》、《保姆俱乐部》）或者言情小说。如果你能把同一两三个按章节、按节拍的大纲反复套用，那就更赚了。当然，这种特性也让这类书最容易……

> 传统上，给中小学生选书主要是通过家长、图书馆管理员，以及——最关键的——同龄人。课间休息时，你的死党跑来告诉你一定要看《保姆俱乐部》，然后嘣的一下，你就彻底入坑了。我在学生时代从没经历过这种事。读小学那会儿，我总是那个把所有时间都花在学校图书馆帮忙和看书的独行侠。后来……
