English author
UK literary figure
A writer from England, or a writer who writes in the English language.
The phrase typically appears in encyclopedic contexts identifying someone's nationality and profession: Jane Austen, English author, was born in 1775.
Sometimes distinguishes nationality from language—an English author writes in English and is from England, while an author who writes in English might be from anywhere.
