Who is the worst writer ever? And to make it interesting rather than have everyone say Dean Koontz, who is the worst writer ever who is considered to be literary?

I'd nominate either Matthew Gregory Lewis, Theodore Dreiser, or Owen Wister.

Interesting question. How you came to idea to put it? I ask because I would never come to such idea simply because I am not able to even think about it and then also to answer it. I could dislike somebody's art of writing but still couldn't think of him/her as the worst. Then, when I do not like some body's writing, I do not read it and with stopping it loses significance and I forget it. Therefore I am also not able to answer it.

That would be impossible to answer, because none of us knows all the writers in the world.
