     Different Between Writer and Author

A writer is person who writes a book, article, or any literary piece, while an author is essentially the person who originates the idea, plot, or content of the work being written.

Sometime the writer and the author can be the same person, when you are writing your own thoughts and ideas you are the author and the writer, one example of this is when somebody is writing his life or autobiography.

When you write the ideas from someone else you are the writer, as when somebody is writing biographies you are not the author because the ideas or thoughts from another are being written.

You are the author when you are writing your own ideas, thoughts, like when you write a letter to someone maybe in paper and sent by mail but now in this era most of the time by email and for me more impersonal.

When you are writing a novel or any book from the plot or ideas from somebody else you going to be knowing how a writer of the book but the author is who gave to you the ideas or theme or point of the book that have to be write for you.
