Bachelor place Dorothy visits to see sketch writer (3)
I believe the answer is:
boz
'sketch writer' is the definition.
(pseudonym of Charles Dickens in 'Sketches by Boz')
'bachelor place dorothy visits' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'place dorothy visits' becomes 'oz' (Dorothy visits Oz in The Wizard of Oz).
'b'+'oz'='BOZ'
'to see' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for boz that I've seen before include "Dickens's pen name" , "Pseudonym of Charles Dickens" , "Sketches by - (Dickens)" , "Dickens's pseudonym" , "Sketch writer" .)
