Prominent

They have published the works of prominent authors such as J.K Rowling, Margaret Atwood, Paulo Coelho, Charles Bukowski etc.

Is the adjective 'prominent' a good choice in this case?


Thanks.

It's OK. If you say ' such as' and etc, both tell us that there are other prominent authors. Say ' such as' or 'etc ' but not both.

Thank you for your explanation.

Would 'and so on' be redundant, too?

I am talking about the same sentence; using 'and so on' instead of 'etc' in the sentence above.
