They are categorized by the genre or type of writing we do. author. biographer. columnist. correspondent. critic. dramatist. editor. essayist. journalist. novelist.  poet. reporter. screenwriter. contributor. freelancer. ghostwriter. scribbler. scribe. stenographer. stringer. wordsmith. newspaper person. person of letters. scripter.
