comic book journalist
Do you differentiate between the term ‘writer’ and ‘author’?
Do you think the two terms are interchangeable or do you think of writers differently than authors? Do you consider a journalist a writer or author? What about someone who writes a movie script? Do you think someone who writes a scholarly essay or research paper is an author? If someone writes a comic book is he considered an author?
If you are writing a manuscript what do you tell others you are? How do you define each term?
I once met a ‘writer’ of comics who pens the words, someone else illustrates for him.
I love the answers I’ve gotten so far. Wow I didn’t think of the ‘authoring’ a plan. That’s a fact to be tucked away for use later.
Normally I don’t differentiate between the 2 terms. Most of the time the 2 terms are interchangeable. I consider the journalist both, a writer or an author, the same with the movie script writer. However, I don’t think someone who write a research paper is a writer, and let me explain myself; If I ran today because it was raining and I didn’t wanted to get wet, that does not makes me a “track ‘n field Runner”, well the same with the writer thing, writing just a research paper now and then does’nt makes me a “writer”.
On the other hand, I think that the terms could be interpreted differently and that depends in the context that it could be said. For example. In spanish (my primary language) If I say The writer (escritor) of this book is Adam Smith. That sentence is literal and its very clear…… But I also could say; The author (autór) of the crime is John Doe. I’m talking about the mastermind or perpetrator of a crime, not exactly a book Author…
Anyway, I’ll hope that helps you. Have a good day

Excerpt: Dr. Saddeka Mohammed Arabi (Arabic: , addqah Muammad `Arab) (died 2007) was a Libyan-American social anthropologist and author. Born in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, she immigrated with her family to the United States during the late 1970s, eventually settling in Northern California. After obtaining her doctorate, she subsequently served as a Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, San Francisco State University, and Saint Mary's College of California. She was also an active member of the Muslim World League (Rabitat al-Alam al-Islami), one of the largest Islamic non-governmental organizations in the world consisting of Muslim religious figures from twenty-two countries. She died in July 2007 while visiting relatives in Libya. In May 1994, Arebi published Women and Words in Saudi Arabia: The Politics of Literary Discourse, where she examines the works of nine contemporary Saudi women writers and their influence on Arabic cultural discourse (see Women in Arab societies). Based on interviews and textual analyses, the study maintains that female writers significantly contribute to the definition and interpretation of history, religion and tradition in Saudi Arabia despite the cultural, political and religious constraints placed on them as women and writers. In this groundbreaking work, Arebi draws on ethnographic and literary evidence to establish the uniqueness of Saudi women writers who: emerged not only as a subject of discourse but also as generators of...

JENNIE KEEPS STEP WITH THE WEDDING MARCHCHAPTER I.JENNIE MAKES HER TOILETTE AND THE ACQUAINTANCE OF A PORTER.Miss Jennie Baxter, with several final and dainty touches that put torights her hat and dress--a little pull here and a pat there--regardedherself with some complacency in the large mirror that was set beforeher, as indeed she had every right to do, for she was an exceedinglypretty girl. It is natural that handsome young women should attirethemselves with extra care, and although Jennie would have beenbeautiful under any conceivable condition of dress, she nevertheless didnot neglect the arraying of herself becomingly on that account. All thatwas remarkable on this occasion consisted in the fact that she took morethan usual pains to make herself presentable, and it must be admittedthat the effect was as attractive as anyone could wish to have it. Herappearance was enough to send a friend into ecstasies, or drive an enemyto despair.Jennie's voluminous hair, without being exactly golden, was--as thepoets might term it--the colour of ripe corn, and was distractinglyfluffy at the temples. Her eyes were liquidly, bewitchingly black, ofmelting tenderness, and yet, upon occasion, they would harden intopiercing orbs that could look right through a man, and seem to fathomhis innermost thoughts. A smooth, creamy complexion, with a touch of redin the cheeks, helped to give this combination of blonde and brunette anappearance so charmingly striking that it may be easily understood shewas not a girl to be passed by with a single glance. Being so favouredby nature, Jennie did not neglect the aid of art, and it must beadmitted that most of her income was expended in seeing that herwardrobe contained the best that Paris could supply; and the best inthis instance was not necessarily the most expensive--at least not asexpensive as such supplementing might have been to an ordinary woman,for Jennie wrote those very readable articles on the latest fashionablegowns which have appeared in some of the ladies' weeklies, and it wasgenerally supposed that this fact did not cause her own replenishingfrom the _modistes_ she so casually mentioned in her writings to be moreexpensive than her purse could afford. Be that as it may, Miss Baxterwas always most becomingly attired, and her whole effect was soentrancing that men have been known to turn in the street as she passed,and murmur, "By Jove!" a phrase that, when you take into account thetone in which it is said, represents the furthermost point of admirationwhich the limited vocabulary of a man about town permits him to utter;and it says something for the honesty of Jennie's black eyes, and thestraightforwardness of her energetic walk, |
