 Congrats Dream! I'm looking forward to seeing a fresh take on this.
We'd see a lot more fresh takes if it wasn't the same dozen or so people who are dedicated enough to find the answer all the time. like goddamn Spartaculous, 35 WINS OF 274 GAMES CALM DOWNNNNNNNN

... Primarily known for writing childrens literature or young adult literature?
Spartaculous already asked this, and the answer was yes. At least, I don't see a difference.

You're correct. I didn't see that question, and I felt that you may have been pointing out that we were missing something, as we often do.

 Free guess: Suzanne Collins, author of YA series The Hunger games and the children's fantasy series The Underland Chronicles. I'm not sure but I'm pretty certain The Hunger Games is quite a notable work.
scratch this guess.
Scratched, but for the record, if I had chosen Collins, I definitely would have answered "yes" to the notable written work question. If someone is notable enough to be a 20 Questions answer, and their primary source of fame is being an author, than their written work counts as notable by definition. Where it gets tricky is if there's a famous tennis player who writes an autobiography, or something like that.
