Is Everyone an Author Response

Author- the composer of a literary work

In my opinion, I would say that yes, everyone is an author. At least anyone who chooses to be. In our modern world writing is an everyday action that pretty much everyone takes part in. Whether it’s a status on Facebook, a poem, an entry in a journal, or even a to-do list, writing is something everyone takes part in at one point or another and we call those people who write, “authors”. It does not take much to be an author, just as long as it is original by that person. For example, one could publish a book with research done by someone else or multiple people, but as long as it is written in your own words (or just written in general), you can be the author of that book. Again, it does not need to be a book. It can be as simple as a sentence written by yourself on a piece of paper or even verbally spoken by a friend. As long as the work is composed by you, then you are the author of that piece.
