Personal feature of writer covering current work (6)
I believe the answer is:
biopic
'personal feature' is the definition.
(feature film about a particular person)
'writer covering current work' is the wordplay.
'writer' becomes 'bic' (kind of pen).
'covering' is an insertion indicator.
'current' becomes 'i' (symbol for electric current).
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'i'+'op'='iop'
'bic' enclosing 'iop' is 'BIOPIC'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for biopic that I've seen before include "... E.g. Gandhi" , "Film of celebrity's life story" , "Film based on a life story" , "Film of someone's life" , "Film about a real life" .)
