Writer
A writer is a person who uses written words to communicate ideas, to inspire feelings and emotions, or to entertain. They use various writing styles, genres, and techniques, and may write novels, short stories, monographs, travelogues, plays, screenplays, teleplays, songs, and essays as well as reports, educational material, and news articles that may be of interest to the general public. Writers' works are nowadays published in a wide range of media. Skilled writers who are able to use language to express ideas well often contribute significantly to the cultural content of a society.
The term "writer" is also used elsewhere in the arts and music, such as songwriter or a screenwriter, but a stand-alone "writer" typically refers to the creation of written language.
