The term is playwright. It's a great word and a great idea. Think of the words shipwright, cartwright or wheelwright. These all have the sense of one who builds or crafts something. A shipwright builds ships, for example. So a playwright is someone who really crafts or builds something using words and all the rest of the materials that go into a dramatic production.
Alternately, you can use the term dramatist.
It is easy to confuse the homophones "wright" and "write". Although playwrights are writers, the homophonic connection is coincidental.
playwrighters write plays, but they could be called writers too. lol...
