Fictional books about struggling authors, writers, or poets.
I love writing and would love to read fictional stories that revolve around the challenges writers go through. Of course it doesn't all have to be about struggle, I would love positive or more down-to-earth stories as well.
Mystery/suspense **The Plot** by Jean Hanff Korelitz. Its protagonist has stolen a plot for a book which becomes a best seller and then must deal with the aftermath. It starts off slow, picking up the pace after Ms. Korelitz details all the work an author goes through to get a story into the hands of a reader.
