It’s an interesting phrase and it says a lot, I’m just not sure how much it says about YOUR creative life. It seems that you’re commenting more on “them” than you – unless your entire writing life is consumed with thinking about this?

Unclear. Suit whose purposes is not clear from the statement. Is “suit” the intended word?

I get it, but it doesn’t convey enough about you – more about them.

I’d suggest changing “suited” to “suit” because it does weird things with the tense.  Since there is no other verb and you have the phrase ‘current bestseller’, it puts it in unshakable present tense as far as the reader’s impression goes.

Aside from that, I’m not sure that this is really saying anything profound.  You’re implying that purpose of all literature is simply to make money, but I’m not actually sure that’s intentional.  Otherwise it kind of feels like “a book is useful to its writer’s intentions (like, what it is written for:  cooking or religion or anything) only while it is recent and popular”, and I disagree with that because a book does not have to be a bestseller to get its point across.  I’m mixed about this.
