Writer

You may be looking for authors or playwrights in the DWU.

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".
