Writer

The writer is the member of the crew responsible for the penning of scripts for stories. Stories can usually have one or more writers that are usually listed as a title on a work's credits.

This attribution can take many forms such as the author's name published on the cover of a text, or within its pages attributed to a single piece, usually following the form of "STORY TITLE by Writer's Name".

It may also take the form of an on-screen credit such as "Writer - Writer's Name".
