#authorial

• Authorial — Belonging to the author, specific to the author, or referring to the author's status within a literary work; relating to the act of original creation. In literary theory and narratological analysis, the term describes an omniscient narrative instance (auctorial perspective), the voice coordinating the discourse from outside the action, or paratextual elements bearing the creator's mark.
• Pretentious authorship — An ironic or depreciative term rarely used to designate the exaggerated behavior, attitude, or pretensions of authorship or creativity displayed by a person lacking real talent or academic recognition. It suggests a form of artificial writerly pride, often manifested through an obsession with self-promotion or the forced imposition of one's own writings within a social circle.
