Is a girl to write the edition (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

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

'write the edition' is the definition.
'issue' can be an answer for 'write' (issuing is a kind of writing). I'm not certain of the 'the edition' bit.

'is a girl' is the wordplay.
'a girl' becomes 'sue' (girl's name).
'is'+'sue'='ISSUE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Question in dispute to be settled" , "The children to come forth" , "Topic; send out" , "Result - children" , "Matter for discussion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
