Here are the top 10 worst authors of all time, as voted by more than 12,000 readers.

The Queen of vampires features on many worst author/worst book lists despite her commercial success with both the books and the films of her series, The Twilight Saga. She has been criticised for her unoriginal ideas, bad writing and is often compared to author J.K. Rowling.

4. L. Ron Hubbard

Lafayette Ronald Hubbard  was an American author of science fiction and fantasy stories, and the founder of the Church of Scientology. Hubbard’s books include Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and established a series of organizations to promote Dianetics.

3. E. L. James

Erika Mitchell, better known by her pen name E. L. James, is a British author best known for writing the erotic romance trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker,and Fifty Shades Freed.
