I'd be willing accept that a "poet" and an "author" are both examples
of a "writer," but an "editor" is a different beast altogether.  If
you really want a term that will cover all of these roles, it needs to
be something more generic like "contributor." Of course, the more
generic you make it, the less useful it becomes (not just the name,
but the number of roles it covers).
