Two white-girl examples: Widdershins by Charles de Lint (woman uses story to alter the landscape of fairyland) though now that I think of it it's a recurring trope in his stuff, like a painter in Memory and Dream; Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, where the protagonist has the ability to make things real by reading them aloud, then applies this ability to reading things she's written.
Actually, spoiler for Memory and Dream: the painter ends up painting a version of herself which comes alive and leaves the painting--with a similar version of another woman, to give them a chance at a romantic relationship real life denied them.
