Would being a published fiction author as a 24-year-old applicant be helpful for a law school application?

And it probably is a stronger soft, may help on the margins, but don't expect anything drastic.

Professionally published eBook turned print book. Profitable venture. Equivalent to work work experience?

Your LSAT and GPA matter about 10x more than anything else aside from winning a Nobel Prize.

Probably meaningless, unless you're Elizabeth Wurtzel or something. Then you can cop Yale with a 160. If you're not a literal bestseller like that, I'd suggest worrying about the LSAT instead.

I would think yes, similar to a somewhat unique soft. Although with the usual caveat that without LSAT/GPA it's irrelevant.
