bylined

Writer's name attached

Bylined describes an article or piece of writing that carries a byline—the author's name printed at the beginning.

A bylined article or bylined column identifies who wrote it, as opposed to unsigned staff pieces or wire service copy.

The term appears mainly in journalism: She finally got her first bylined story in the paper.
