Is Everyone An Author?

Yes everyone in fact is an author! Whether it be writing for school or a social media post for friends and family, everyone has written their own words, statements, and opinions at one point in life. The internet has made it possible for people to make their writing open for public viewing. Nowadays anyone can create an online profile and write anything from what they ate for breakfast to a 20 page essay. However, even people without social media can be considered authors because they can still write down their own original thoughts and ideas. A great example is the Diary of Anne Frank. This young girl never expected her diary to be published and make her a widely known author. However, even if her Diary had never been published, she would still be an author because she wrote down her thoughts, feelings, and life events. Everyone becomes an author the day they learn to write and record their thoughts as a child.
