Digest Writer (Urdu: ڈائجسٹ رائٹر) is a Pakistani drama series that premiered on Hum TV on 5 October 2014.

Digest Writer is based on the life of Farida, a lower-middle-class college student whose parents prefer to focus on the education of their son, whom they wish would become a doctor.

At the same time, Farida's family is going through financially difficult times as she aspires to become a Digest magazine writer under the pen name "Rashk-i-Hina" (Urdu: رشک حنا) (Pride of Henna), spending sleepless nights to accomplish her dream.

She goes on to befriend a banker, Shehryar Ahmed, who admires her skills, but several problems arise in their relationship.

Shaukat rapes Farida to prevent her from planning to escape the marriage and restricts her from even touching a pen.

She has to make a difficult decision: stay with Shaukat or marry the now seemingly more self-centred Shehryar.

In July 2019, it was uploaded on Hum TV's official YouTube channel with muted music to avoid copyright infringement, which also irritatingly impacted on the dialogue, a fact which may have contributed to falling viewer numbers.

Umera Ahmad was a renowned author at the time and her name was big enough to attract a large audience; she wrote the screenplay.

Its first episode ratings were an exceptional achievement, but the show lagged behind by with the emergence of Sadqay Tumhare on the same channel, albeit shown on a different day and in a different time-slot.

Although Sadqay Tumhare began with a higher TRP, this later dropped drastically whereas Digest Writer managed to keep it consistent.
