It looks like Bookworms and Perfectionists also have an increased chance of writing hits and best sellers. The chance seems to be 20% extra for Bookworms and 15% for Perfectionists. Reading books only improves a sim's writing speed, not their chance of writing bestsellers as far as I can see, and that's truncated at 50 books. I can't find the name of the opportunity that increases the probability, but I'm working on it.

Edit: The opportunity that increases the chances of bestsellers is called Correcting Past Mistakes.

Just to clarify, does that percentage stack? (i.e. 20%+15%=35%)

Yes, it does. It's not specified as an increased chance for best sellers only, just an increase in both combined. With those traits, the opportunity bonus, level 10 writing and the Prolific Author challenge, it should be impossible to write anything worse then a hit.
