▪ American writer
born Oct. 4, 1862, Elizabeth, N.J., U.S.
died May 10, 1930, Newark, N.J.

      American writer of popular juvenile fiction, whose Stratemeyer Literary Syndicate (1906–84) produced such books as the Rover Boys series, the Hardy Boys series, the Tom Swift series, the Bobbsey Twins series, and the Nancy Drew series.

      Stratemeyer worked as a store clerk and, on the side, began writing stories in imitation of those of Horatio Alger and popular adventure writers, selling his first magazine story in 1888. In the following decade he became editor of Good News (1893–95), for which he wrote boys' stories, and of his own journal, Bright Days (1896). His first book, Richard Dare's Venture, appeared in 1894, the first in a series, and about 1896 he began writing concurrently several series, such as the Rover Boys' Series for Young Americans, beginning in 1899, and the Boy Hunters Series, beginning in 1906. Over the years he wrote hundreds of books and stories.

      In 1906 he founded the Stratemeyer Literary Syndicate, which published various juvenile series, written by himself and others. (Any one series might have had several authors, all using the same pseudonym.) After his death in 1930, his company was largely directed by his daughter, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams (1893?–1982). Under pseudonyms she and writers such as Mildred Wirt Benson and Leslie McFarlane wrote many of the novels in the Nancy Drew, Dana Girls, Hardy Boys, and Bobbsey Twins series. In 1984 the publisher Simon & Schuster acquired all rights to the Stratemeyer Literary Syndicate.
