[someone] is a novelist
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse 'novelist' with 'novice' because they look similar. 'Novelist' is someone who writes novels, while 'novice' means a beginner. Some learners also think a 'novelist' is someone who reads many novels, but it always means a writer, not a reader.
