A writer writes, although what he or she writes

can be extremely varied. Some writers are book authors – they may write novels, non-fiction books, textbooks, or poetry. Other writers write for television or movies, writing scripts, jokes, monologues, etc.

A journalist is a writer who writes about news items, either in newspapers, magazines, or online sources. Columnists, copywriters, writers of dictionaries, bloggers, and playwrights are just a few more types of writers, showing how varied the field is.
