Our great phobia about writer (14)
I believe the answer is:
autobiographer
'writer' is the definition.
(autobiographer is a kind of writer)
'our great phobia about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'our'+'great'+'phobia'='ourgreatphobia'
'ourgreatphobia' anagrammed gives 'AUTOBIOGRAPHER'.
(Another definition for autobiographer that I've seen is " Writer of their own life story".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
