Sure, there have been innumerable authors who have made their mark on society in the past millennia. Even the most successful writers today can learn a thing or two from the legends of the past. However, we should not underestimate the talented writers in our midst today. Here are a few authors that have made their mark in the 21st century.

Stephen King

Mr King will surely need to make this list. 

With more than 60 novels and counting, King is arguably among the greatest novelists of our time. The number of novels might sound impressive, but if you consider that most of his stories have sold more than a million copies, you must think about reading a chapter.

J.K. Rowling

For those not familiar with the houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin, Rowling created Harry Potter, and her books are still incredibly popular since their launch in 1998. Rowling created a world where the imagination thrives. Many followers have created fan clubs to celebrate the universe.

John Grisham

This American author is arguably one of the best when it comes to writing about the law. His books are extremely well researched, and some sources have labelled him as one of the most intelligent authors of our time.

R.L. Stine

Stine is one of the lesser-known authors among adults who never read when they were young, but he has probably sold more books than Stephen King. From Goosebumps to Fear Steet, Stine has kept generations entertained for decades.
