An optical writing apparatus that can set a write power for recording information on an optical recording medium and a method of setting a write power thereof are provided. The method of setting a write power of the optical writing apparatus includes calculating a first deviation between a theoretical length and a written length of each mark when applying a first power ratio, calculating a second deviation between a theoretical length and a written length of each mark when applying a second power ratio, and estimating the deviation at a power ratio other than the first and second power ratios, based on the first deviation values and second deviation values. Variance values of deviations at each power ratio may be determined from the calculated deviations and the estimated deviation. A write power may be set by applying a power ratio corresponding to a minimum variance value among the variance values.
