Writers can produce literary and non-literary works across a range of genres, both fiction and non-fiction.

The term writer is often used synonymously with author, although the latter has a slightly broader meaning and is used to convey legal responsibility for a piece of writing, even if its composition is anonymous, unknown, or collaborative. In a strict sense, the term designates professionals in literature.
