As a writer, he began his professional career in 1930, writing scripts for radio dramas.

1934-1936:
Throughout this period, L. Ron Hubbard writes. Seated at his Remington manual typewriter, he produces 100,000 words of fiction a month.

He writes western, detective, adventure, action, and even romance stories. In 1935, Mr. Hubbard is elected president of the New York Chapter of the American Fiction Guild, offering leadership to such stellar names as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and Edgar Rice Burroughs. In his capacity as president, he also pens articles for writer magazines.

Demonstrating his prolific output as a writer, he completes 138 novels, novelettes and short stories in six years in just the genres of adventure, action, western, mystery and detective. This is an average of one published story every two weeks, three times the output of most other writers.
