written work

Authored textual piece

Written work is any text produced by writing—essays, reports, articles, manuscripts, or other documents.

The phrase often appears in academic and professional contexts where the physical product of writing matters: Students must submit their written work by Friday.

It distinguishes composed text from oral presentations or other forms of expression.
