contemporary writer
Current era novelist
A contemporary writer is an author working in the present era or recent past, typically one whose work engages with current themes, styles, or sensibilities.
The term distinguishes living or recently active writers from historical or classical ones: She studies contemporary writers rather than the Victorians.
What counts as contemporary shifts with time—mid-century modernists were once contemporary too.
