Don't you *dare* call her that!
If you do, her fans will jump all over you and remind you she wrote litfic for years and years before ACE published her. Even got one volume published in 1959.

Never made any real money at it, but it does qualify her to look down her nose at genre and bestseller readers and writers.

Much as I enjoyed EarthSea I'm kinda sorry she made even a couple nickles off me.
