Isn't love changing David Mitchell? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

novelist

'david mitchell?' is the definition.
(novelist David Mitchell is an example)

'isn't love changing' is the wordplay.
'changing' is an anagram indicator.
'isnt'+'love'='isntlove'
'isntlove' anagrammed gives 'NOVELIST'.

(Other definitions for novelist that I've seen before include "Writer of fiction books" , "Spark produced, perhaps" , "Author" , "Book writer" , "James was one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
