Determined to follow good editor (6)
I believe the answer is:
dogged
'determined' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'follow good editor' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'dog' (I've seen this before**).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'dog'+'g'+'ed'='DOGGED'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for dogged that I've seen before include "Determined in canine way" , "Relentless in a canine way" , "stubbornly persevering" , "Tenacious, persistent" , "Follow closely - persistent" .)
