This needs a definition of "nonfiction". I decided to use the list of types of nonfiction on the appropriate Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fiction#Types

No.

Not fiction, non-fiction or movies. What kinds of "published authors" are left? Playwrights? Poets? Songwriters who are not singers? How many of those, younger than 33, are famous enough to have appeared on a scripted TV show as themselves?

This is my second guess so it counts: Amanda Gorman (the young poet who read at President Biden's inauguration)?

I was really tempted to reply to this with "Well, I can think of at least one..."

New game going up as soon as I can think of a subject.
