A writer is a person who uses written words in various styles and techniques to communicate ideas.
Writers produce various forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, poetry,
plays, news articles, screenplays, or essays. Skilled writers are able to use language to
express ideas and their work contributes significantly to the cultural content of a society.[1] The word
is also used elsewhere in the arts such as songwriter but as a standalone term, "writer" normally
refers to the creation of written language. Some writers work from an oral tradition.
Writers can produce material across a number of genres, fictional or non-fictional. Other writers use
multiple media for example, graphics or illustration to enhance the communication of their ideas.
Another recent demand has been created by civil and government readers for the work of nonfictional technical writers, whose skills create understandable, interpretive documents of a practical
or scientific nature. Some writers may use images (drawing, painting, graphics) or multimedia to
augment their writing. In rare instances, creative writers are able to communicate their ideas via
music as well as words.[2]
