Morphology
writer's + name
This is a straightforward possessive noun phrase: 'writer's' (the writer + possessive 's) combined with 'name' yields 'the name of the writer', so the meaning is directly compositional from the parts. The possessive construction and the semantics are basic and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Writer's name comes from the practice of putting the person's name after the word 'by' at the top of a story or article so readers know who wrote it. So writer's name means the name shown as the person who wrote the work.
