Literary assistant employed to take dictation (10)

I believe the answer is:

amanuensis

(Other definitions for amanuensis that I've seen before include "who may work with dictator?" , "stenographer" , "secretarial post" , "One assisting writer" , "Literary assistant - scribe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
