Morphology
autographer = autograph (semi-transparent) = auto + graph + er
The self-writing meaning is historically related to auto- + graph + -er, but the specific sense of a handwritten manuscript writer is specialized and not fully predictable.
Etymology
Autographer comes from the parts auto- meaning 'self' and -graph meaning 'to write'. So an autographer is a 'self-writer' — a person who writes in their own hand or signs their own autograph.
