I read a short story about 25 years ago in an anthology (it might have been Hugo nominated stories or some such). The story is about a failed author who is visited by a man from the future who represents a library of forgotten authors. He needs permission from the author so that he can preserve his writing for posterity, since the man's own generation will never appreciate it. If anyone can identify for me the author and title of this story, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

M.B.
