writer detail

I have the following:

from django.shortcuts import render

from .models import Article, Writer

def article_list(request): articles = Article.objects.all() return render(request, 'articles/article_list.html', {'articles': articles})

def writer_detail(request, pk): writer = Writer.get('pk'=pk) return render(request, 'articles/writer_detail.html', {'writer': writer})

But it just tells me to try again, no hint, no nothing.

articles/views.py 
from django.shortcuts import render

from .models import Article, Writer


def article_list(request):
    articles = Article.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'articles/article_list.html', {'articles': articles})

def writer_detail(request, pk):
    writer = Writer.get('pk'=pk)
    return render(request, 'articles/writer_detail.html', {'writer': writer})

You should be using Writer.objects.get(pk=pk)

def writer_detail(request, pk):
    writer = Writer.objects.get(pk=pk)
    return render(request, 'articles/writer_detail.html', {"writer": writer})

Of course, just like the article_list above.

Thanks.
