nonwriters

Those who don't compose

Nonwriters are people who do not write, particularly those who lack the skill, inclination, or profession of writing.

The term often appears in contexts distinguishing those who create written content from those who don't: The workshop welcomed both writers and nonwriters alike.

It may also describe someone's self-identification when they feel uncomfortable or inexperienced with writing tasks.
