Counterwrite

/ˈkaʊntərraɪt/ verb

Definition

To write in response to or in opposition to something another person has written; to respond with written rebuttal.

Etymology

From counter- + write. A literary term that emerged to describe the practice of writing responses, rebuttals, or opposing arguments in written form.

Kelly Says

When authors write responses to critics or rival authors write competing versions of a story, they're counterwriting—it's how intellectual debates happened before social media, through published articles and books.
