book author

Penned the pages

A book author is someone who writes books, as distinguished from authors of articles, scripts, or other forms.

The phrase often appears in contexts where the type of authorship matters: She's a book author, not a journalist.

Sometimes used to specify traditional publishing versus other writing work.
