Writers - unpublished and published - use all kinds of labels to define themselves. Writer, author, pre-published , aspiring author, amateur author... what do you call yourself?
And... will what you call yourself change at some point? Will you graduate from 'amateur' to 'professional' in your own mind when you get a book deal?
(I'm in favour of writer. It's obvious, it's to the point, it doesn't change regardless of whether or not you're published. I like the broadness of it.)
