In science and the arts (painting, music etc.) there have been prodigies who have become famous, having a major impact on their field. But has there ever been a prodigy who was a writer, and not just a child/teenager capable of writing a novel or something and capable of getting it published, but someone who was very successful, having a significant impact in literary culture (even if they had started their career young but didn't write their greatest work until they were older like for example how Mozart wrote his first professional opera when fourteen but wrote his most famous work as an adult).
