Note
A regular plural, made with a plain -s, and it carries every meaning the singular has. Most often it means authors, but in finance writers are the sellers of options. Historically they were East India Company clerks on their way to becoming factors, and in Scotland the word named ordinary country-town lawyers. In the possessive the apostrophe follows the s: the writers' festival.
