'making grubby writer's group read aloud' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'making grubby writer's group' is the wordplay.
'making grubby' becomes 'm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'writer' becomes 'I' (the person who is writing these clues).
'group' becomes 'ring' (a ring is a criminal organisation).
