WordSmith Tools (which developed from the 1993 concordancer MicroConcord (Johns and Scott, OUP)) is a collection of corpus linguistics tools for looking for patterns in a language. The software was devised by Mike Scott at the University of Liverpool and for versions 1 to 4 was sold by Oxford University Press. The current version is 6.0 and is available from Lexical Analysis Software Ltd. The tools include a concordancer, word-listing facilities, a tool for computing the keywords of a text or genre, and a series of other utilities e.g. to convert text files from one format to another or to make multiple changes in many text files, to examine the format of text files, to download texts from the web, etc.

A writer is a person who produces literature or nonfiction, such as novels, short stories, plays, screenplays, poetry, essays, articles, or other literary art. Skilled writers are able to use language to portray ideas and images.
