I have a character who is an IC scribe and book-binder, and will ICly (while I OOCly) write down people's stories / requests for them, as well as things he's written himself. As in, literally; he will meet with someone's character, they tell him their story, and he will write and 'publish' the thing, binding the book for it and all. A link to the actual story will be made so the person in question can actually keep it and direct people to it, saying 'yep, this is the book my character had made and written' so people can read it and know what it's actually about. As well as coming up with however many copies they want. Not that anyone's finished taking him up on that yet since he came to the surface (an attempt was made though, but life arose), but yeah.
In short, I think it's completely plausible! Someone's gotta write all those books out there.
