Writer
Although all authors are writers by definition, a writer per se is different from an author. In many cases, such as working on a company newsletter, writing corporate communications, company website and blog content, curricula, catalog content, advertising, promotions, public relations copy, and creating broadcast radio commercials, one’s own name is not revealed. In some cases, I was; I have written several newsletters for several companies, and when I became the editor of one newsletter, my married name was included on the masthead. I was also a company contact and was mentioned as such in The Wall Street Journal. Being mentioned by the WSJ was fun; the rest was good old-fashioned hard work.
