Unless one is doing a gender-based study on gendered fiction, I find there is no need or reason to differentiate reading preferences based upon gender, and could care less if the writer is male or female.
Of course, if the writer is a baboon, mule, or monkey, I might be inclined to prefer one over the other - but I first would have to see writing samples in order to make that kind of decision.
Also, since the OP is talking about more than one author, perhaps a plural would be more fitting?
