Good compere to write your article? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ghost

'to write your article?' is the definition.
(to ghostwrite)

'good compere' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'compere' becomes 'host' (I've seen this before).
'g'+'host'='GHOST'

(Other definitions for ghost that I've seen before include "Writer who gives the credit of authorship to someone else" , "Author, secretly" , "Spirit, spectre" , "Phantom" , "suggestion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
