Rails form for creation of model and adding relation to other model

I have two models. Writers and Books.
A writer has many books.
After i have created writers, I want to add books to him or her.
In my /writers/1 path i show the writers information and i have a list of his books.
When adding a book, i navigate to the /books/new path.

When i create the book, i want to create the relation to the writer.

What is the best solution to do this? Should I pass the writer to the books/new path?
Or is there another (better) solution?

Assuming all books belong to an author, you're going to want to use nested resources. You can read about nested routes in the Rails Guides.
