Editor’s bringing people in for edits (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emends

'edits' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'editor's bringing people in' is the wordplay.
'editor's' becomes 'ed's' (abbreviation).
'bringing people' becomes 'men' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'eds' enclosing 'men' is 'EMENDS'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for emends that I've seen before include "Edits text" , "Alters written material to remove errors" , "Improves,corrects" , "Makes improvements or corrections" , "Changes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
