guest writer
Temporary column contributor
A guest writer is someone invited to contribute to a publication, show, or project they don't regularly work for.
The term appears in journalism, television, and online media: We have a guest writer covering the election this week.
In TV, a guest writer may pen a single episode while the regular writing staff handles the rest of the season.
