a single author? I'm not looking for how many books by the same author were PUBLISHED, but how many books that author had written at the same time in a year. For example, author Betty Swollocks (made-up) has written twelve books over the last year, but she has them published over the space of seven years. I'm not sure you'll understand this but thank you.
 
Hmm, I don't know how to go about looking that up.

I do, however, know that one of the most prolific authors (if not THE most prolific author) is Joyce Carol Oates. She's published over fifty novels since 1963 as well as short story collections, poetry, and nonfiction. And she's still going; she has three novels on the way for 2009/early 2010.

That's unanswerable. Say somebody had twenty books published in a year, how can you possibly tell whether they were published as they were written or not?
