著あらわす
著す also means 'to write/publish a book', but 書き著す makes the writing aspect explicit. Both are somewhat formal.

Etymology

Compound of 書き (kaki, continuative form of 書く 'to write') and 著す (arawasu, 'to publish/write a book'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the combination reinforces the idea of writing and publishing.
