There's something like it, a story by Harry Turtledove, let me
look up the title.

...

The title is "Hindsight," and it's collected in _Kaleidoscope_.
A woman from, hmmm, from her computer equipment I'll guess the
early 1990s, time-travels back to the early 1950s and starts
selling to the SF magazines stories that other people were going
to write in the intervening years.  She also writes stories of
her own (she is a far-from-lousy writer) about what's going to
happen in the intervening years.

She gets found out when she gets published, in a thinly-veiled
_Astounding,_ a story that the viewpoint character had already
written and not yet submitted.

Turns out her motive is to change the public viewpoint toward
things like science and away from things like Nixon.
