Authorly
Authorly is an adjective used to describe writing that foregrounds the author's presence, craft, or perspective. The term is a relatively recent coinage in English, occurring primarily in literary criticism, writing pedagogy, and online discussions about style. It characterizes a voice or approach that makes the author's decisions visible to the reader, rather than concealing them behind a seamless narrative.
In practice, authorly writing often features a self-conscious or explicit craft signal: a distinctive voice, attention
Usage contexts include metafiction, experimental prose, and discussions about the balance between author intention and reader
Etymology and spread: derived from "author" with the adverbial suffix "-ly"; widespread in online writing communities,
