The term '''''writer''''' can apply to anyone who creates a [[writing|written]] [[opus|work]], but the word more usually designates those who write creatively or professionally, or those who have written in many different forms. Skilled writers demonstrate skills in using [[language]] to portray ideas and images, whether producing [[fiction]] or [[non-fiction]].

A writer may compose in many different forms, including (but certainly not limited to) [[poetry]], [[prose]], or [[music]]. Accordingly, a writer in specialist mode may rank as a [[poet]], [[novelist]], [[composer]], [[lyricist]], [[playwright]], [[mythographer]], [[journalist]], [[film]] [[scriptwriter]], etc. (See also: [[creative writing]], [[technical writer|technical writing]] and [[academic]] papers.)

Writers' output frequently contributes to the [[cultural]] content of a [[society]], and that society may value its writerly [[corpus]] -- or [[literature]] -- as an [[art]] much like the visual arts (see: [[painting]], [[sculpture]], [[photography]]), [[music]], [[craft]] and [[performance art]] (see: [[drama]], [[theatre]], [[opera]], [[Musical theater|musical]]).
