I have a problem to use first, second, etc.

I'm confused about the comma and full stop. This is my example.

Genre Writing Concept has 5 compositions. Firstly, the writer, is a person who writes the text.

I'm confused that I should put a comma or full stop after the writer.

Also, before the word is I should put a subject or not.

sorry for my bad English, if you don't understand it. T__T

Anonymous Firstly, the writer, is a person who writes the text. The subject is 'the writer', the verb is 'is'. We don't put a comma between the subject and the verb, so it's just Firstly, the writer is a person who writes the text.
