message: Publishing more than a book a week for her entire adult life?  Is this some kind of joke?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.85.196.138 (talk) 07:06, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was wondering about this too (just found her on the List of best-selling fiction authors and thought it was a typo – even those who published 600 or 800 novels seem suspicious). How long is an average novel of hers? Spanish Wikipedia says she published 4000 "titles", not "books". I believe many of these are in fact short stories. – Alensha talk 17:56, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I can confirm that it's true, although the exact count is difficult to determine. The average page count of her books was about 100 pages, and we have to consider that what she produced was mass trivial literature, mostly love stories with stereotype characters and plots. They were published on cheap pocket books that were (and still are) rather sold at the newspaper stand than at book stores. I come from Argentina, and I can remember her books been massively sold all the years over, week after week.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.180.193.178 (talk) 00:14, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Half of her works were short novels (100 pages), and the other half short stories published in magazines. It is very difficult to know the exact number, because she repeated titles in some of her works.--Belagaile (talk) 16:33, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

message: According to this website:
https://thebooklist.com/most-prolific-authors
    she published around 4, 000 romantic novels, making her the most prolific writer of novels ever. If more websites can be found that can confirm this claim, her record ought to be mentioned in the article. YTKJ (talk) 21:13, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: the claim is difficult to believe. Say she started writing at 16, she had 58 years of writing. If the number was just 4000, she wrote 59 novels  every year. This comes to just over 6 days for a novel, if she worked all 365 days. This would be difficult, life-long. Anarayanan (talk) 02:07, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
