Question: Is it possible for a writer to have over 100 books published in a two-year span!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
They might be able to publish 100 books retrospectively, but CERTAINLY not write them!.

Most author will never WRITE 100 books in their lifetime never mind publish them!. The amount of work involved in writing a book to publication standards is very draining!. The number is just too ridiculous to comprehend!.

I think it is possible!. Just because the 100 books were published in a two year span doesn't mean that they were all written in that same amount of time!. The author could have been saving up a lifetime of books that they've been writing since they were in high school, suddenly had a #1 seller and then became popular enough that the publisher wanted to publish all of them right away!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is that including writing them!? If so, you realize that would mean researching, writing, revising and submitting on average one book a week!. Unless you have a ton of pseudonyms, it's highly unlikely you'd get anywhere near that kind of demand from publishers!. Then again, you might be using self publisher!. Still, I"d say highly unlikely!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is possiblel!.
What kind of books!? 500 page novels or 6 page childrens books, research/nonfiction, etc!.!.!.!.
I can write about 100 poems a day if I'm bored, so over two years I'd have tons - I can see how someone could write 100 books, I just dont know what kind they'd be or how good they'd be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I suppose!. If they're reprints!. It certainly seems like Nora Roberts has her books republished regularly and she's written over a hundred by now, I think!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe if they spent heaps of years writing books but not publishing them yet-and then released them all in 2 years!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its probably possible but hed definately have to write fast!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If they're tight with the publishing company, perhaps!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
