Add a new model, Writer, and give it a name attribute that's a CharField with a max_length of 255.

Why doesn't my code work :/

articles/models.py
from django.db import models

class Article(models.Model):
    headline = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    publish_date = models.DateTimeField()
    content = models.TextField()

     def __str__(self):
        return self.headline

class Writer(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

It looks like an indentation issue. The def appears to have one extra space indent.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!
