I believe the answer is:

byline

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'each sentence?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'author's name given' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'name' could be 'lin' and 'lin' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bye' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for byline that I've seen before include "end of play" , "attribution" , "Credit for one reporting" , "Credit given author" .)
