An author is one who originates a written piece of work and has a title in his own name and right. A writer may be one who may even write for others or on contract.

An author is a writer but every author is not writer. There are ghost writers and contract writers. They are not authors.

No yaar...
They write online articles for other persons...may be according to given keywords. They earn pretty much...yet won't get the credit of those articles. Its credit goes to the person who pays the ghost writer.
So, am not interested in ghost writing :) :)
