Pen-pusher said to be one who corrects what’s wrong (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

righter

'be one who corrects what's wrong' is the definition.

'pen-pusher said' is the wordplay.
'pen-pusher' becomes 'writer'.
'said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'writer' sounds like 'RIGHTER'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for righter that I've seen before include "One who rectifies" , "Person making corrections" , "He sets all straight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
