Crossword Genius

Guildford staff level with super content writer (7,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gustave flaubert

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'writer' is the definition.
(I know that Gustave Flaubert is a writer)

'guildford staff level with super content' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'staff' could be 'stave' (synonyms) and 'stave' is found within the answer.
'level' could be 'a' (A level is an example) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'super' could be 'uber' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'uber' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for gustave flaubert that I've seen is " Writer".)
