e-writing
Screen-based text creation
E-writing is writing done electronically—emails, texts, social media posts, online documents.
The term emphasizes digital composition as distinct from handwriting or traditional print: The course covers e-writing skills for professional communication.
It often implies the informal conventions of electronic communication: abbreviations, emoji, rapid exchange.
