Not ready for publication (8)
I believe the answer is:
unedited
'not ready for publication' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for unedited that I've seen before include "As written, without correction" , "In the original version" , "Text that's been unaltered" , "Not yet prepared for publication" , "Never before published" .)
