Local Writers
Why aren’t sims able to purchase the works of local writers? For example, Mortimer Goth has written numerous books and my other sims aren’t able to order any of his works from the computer or books...

Yes, that would be great.
Then I don't have to make the book store, have writers copy the book, and then give them to the store's owner so he/she can sell it.
Wait, what?!
How do you make bookstores??
Sorry for keeping you waiting for long. Busy making a video...
I follow these steps while making a bookstore:
1. Build a retail store and have a sim own it (usually rich).
2. When writers write a book, they'll copy it three times. The original gets published, the first copy goes to a library and the second copy will be kept by the writer.
3. The third copy is given to the bookstore's owner. Seasons is a good expansion pack here as sims can give the book as a gift and they will never reject gifts (even when they hate each other).
4. Switch to book store's owner's household, where I go to their store and put the book for sale.
If anyone buys the book, there's no need to write another one.
Copying books may decrease the quality and price. You can give the bookstore owner the original and have your writer sim buy it and then publish it. That also means any sim who buys the book can publish it and earn royalities from it.
