Isn't love misrepresented by this writer? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

novelist

'this writer?' is the definition.
(novelist is a kind of writer)

'isn't love misrepresented' is the wordplay.
'misrepresented' indicates anagramming the letters.
'isnt'+'love'='isntlove'
'isntlove' anagrammed gives 'NOVELIST'.

'by' is the link.

(Other definitions for novelist that I've seen before include "King maybe" , "I've written" , "Writer of fiction books" , "Writer of long stories" , "Author" .)
