Jim Theis, autor of The Eye of Argon. Certainly not a good book, but he was only 16 years old when he wrote it for fun then published it in a fanzine, and his work got violently ridiculed and mocked by professional authors. People kept making fun of it for decades, he felt so bad he vowed to never write again. And died at the age of 48.
