the writer

One who composes

The writer refers to the person currently writing or the author under discussion.

In legal and formal documents, the writer often means "I" or "me" while maintaining an impersonal tone: The writer wishes to clarify the terms of this agreement.

It can also designate a specific author in context: The writer captures loneliness better than any of her contemporaries.
