'one writing for another' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'good entertainer' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'entertainer' becomes 'host' (person hosting or entertaining guests).
'g'+'host'='GHOST'
