I would say the next imminent hot writers are often the writers from the decade before you were born.

Every writer is a writer of the generation before.
I suppose sequels are inevitable for a writer of a certain age.
Most writers, by the time they're 60, must have revisited their childhood a dozen times.
One likes to think one grows as a writer as one ages, else all you get is an 'old' young writer. Beyond that is the changing landscape of the universe and the stories I choose to tell.
I think all writers write from the time they're really young, and you just start asking the question, 'What if?'
Most of my favorite writers are over forty, and so I suppose I'll only name a few of the writers whose work I find myself constantly returning to: Edward P. Jones, Marilynne Robinson, Kazuo Ishiguro, V. S. Naipaul, Toni Morrison, and Philip Roth.
Memories, impressions and emotions from the first 20 years on earth are most writers' main material; little that comes afterward is quite so rich and resonant.
The fact is that all writers create their precursors. Their work modifies our conception of the past, just as it is bound to modify the future.
When authors who write literary fiction begin to write screenplays, everybody assumes that's the end. Here's another who's never going to write well again.
The trouble with young writers is that they are all in their sixties.
