Top Ten Worst Authors
These are the people who claim to be authors but really just create boring, talentless books and give writers a bad example. But it is very rare and that's a good thing.
Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 - April 30, 1945) was a German politician of Austrian descent who served as the leader of the Nazi Party since 1921, Chancellor of Germany since 1933, and Führer of Nazi Germany since 1934. As dictator of Nazi Germany, he reversed the Treaty of Versailles, initiated World... read more Why read a book about the struggle when he thinks he could save Germany and yet made it so much worse? Literally, everyone hated him.
Why would anyone, who isn't a massive Hitler-sympathizing racist idiot, want to read about his Kampf (struggle)?
I think mass genocide is worse than the other authors here.
It's her fault the world had to go through the torture that is Twilight.
And then that unmemorable fanfiction of Twilight that is Fifty Shades of Grey. We had to suffer through those.
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United States. Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Donald J. Trump received an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968... read more
Paris Whitney Hilton is an American businesswoman, socialite, television personality, model, actress, singer, DJ, and author.
Karl Heinrich Marx ( 5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a German philosopher, critic of political economy, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary. His best-known titles are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto and the four-volume Das Kapital... read more This man caused so many wars. The Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, North Korea, and Cuba wouldn't exist and be so cruel if his book wasn't published.
Supreme example of the insolence in German academia of the 19th century. Edgy. Self-righteous. Not applicable to reality.
Lafayette Ronald Hubbard (March 13, 1911 – January 24, 1986) was an American author of science fiction and fantasy stories who founded the Church of Scientology. In 1950, Hubbard authored Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and established a series of organizations to promote Dianetics... read more To be frank, I view the Church of Scientology through the same lens I view the Branch Davidians, and I even reckon that the Scientologists have killed their fair share of people to boot. Plus, their influence on mainstream entertainment is remarkably immoral. Hubbard is directly to blame for all of it, and he did it for fun. Obviously, he was not as harmful of a man as Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc., but he was nearly as wretched.
Wrote terrible sci-fi novels, then made one of his sci-fi novels into a terrible religion.
Ann Hart Coulter is an American conservative social and political commentator, writer, syndicated columnist, and lawyer. Only those who are mindless fat rednecks wouldn't include her on this list.
She didn't seem particularly intelligent, to put it lightly.
She's definitely the unrestrained id of Capitalism.

We have different opinions, and this is how the real world works. You are entitled to your own opinion, but you don't have the right to bash others' thoughts or force your opinion into our minds. I'm sorry to say this, but Rachel Renée Russell is one of the most terrible authors and isn't a very good person. We have the right to state opinions, and I'm sorry to say this.
I have evidence. That's right, facts and lists don't care about your feelings, so you go get a life.
I really don't like her, and Dork Diaries is her worst series ever.
Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is an American politician, diplomat, and former lawyer who served as the 67th United States secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, as a United States senator representing New York from 2001 to 2009, and as first lady of the United States from 1993... read more

He was best known as the host of his radio show The Rush Limbaugh Show, which was nationally syndicated on AM and FM radio stations... read more
Joanne Rowling, CH, OBE, FRSL, FRCPE, writing under the pen names J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, is a British novelist, philanthropist, film and television producer and screenwriter best known for writing the Harry Potter fantasy series. I believe prose doesn't get the same pass as other forms of media, such as visual entertainment, when it comes to enjoying the kids/family genre as an adult. The reason I believe this is because the visual medium is digestible and understandable for life, whereas prose is inevitably outgrown. Most adults simply don't find much worth in immature writing.
Somehow, Harry Potter as a franchise has infected the minds of countless millennials and older zoomers, and its effects last a lifetime. Since I didn't grow up with Harry Potter (the series simply never intrigued me), I don't experience any nostalgia for the novels or movies. I think so-called "Harry Potter adults" are experiencing the series through rose-tinted glasses because Harry Potter is nothing more than a power fantasy. Never before or since have I personally been taken aback by the sheer selfishness of a wish-fulfillment story. The Wizarding World basically mirrors the world of Muggles in its hierarchical nature, rampant consumerism, and harsh social expectations. It provides no sort of wish fulfillment outside of casting spells and encountering unusual creatures, and frankly, I believe that makes it lazy.
Beyond specific enemies such as Voldemort, Harry and crew don't take on much adversity. The protagonists don't strive to change the world for the better and seem more concerned with personal matters. At least Batman recognized that violent crime is the root problem behind his parents' deaths.
It's no surprise that J.K. Rowling has only continued to prove herself a pretty useless public figure with her nauseating worldview. Whether it be her status as transphobe number one or the suspiciously racially coded aspects of the Harry Potter series, Rowling only makes her wild, rags-to-super-riches success seem all the more implausible, as if her novels became bestsellers on a complete fluke.
At the risk of sounding childish in the eyes of many curmudgeonly, try-hard adults, I believe... more
James Brendan Patterson is an American author and philanthropist. Among his works are the Alex Cross, Michael Bennett, Women's Murder Club, Maximum Ride, Daniel X, NYPD Red, Witch and Wizard, and Private series, as well as many stand-alone thrillers, non-fiction and romance novels. He is literally an idiot to write such illicit novels like Maximum Ride and Murder Suspect whatnot. I hate him.
Aleister Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century.
George Raymond Richard Martin (born George Raymond Martin), also known as George R. R. Martin, is an American author known for his epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, which was later adapted into the famous HBO series Game of Thrones. Martin is simply overrated. All high fantasy authors owe the majority of their inspiration to Tolkien, but George seems to be more concerned with being a Tolkien tribute act than cultivating an identity of his own. Yet another pop culture author who verifies the belief that mainstream entertainment is often shallow and unchallenging.
It doesn't matter how many Rs you add to your name. If you write content that is exploitative and does nothing to bring recognition or compassion to the evils of war, you are still just a person who has contributed nothing toward the betterment of society. His popularity and lack of legitimate commentary just go to show how disturbing human fascination can be.
