Prepare for publication in Crediton (4)
I believe the answer is:
edit
'prepare for publication' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in crediton' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EDIT' is hidden within 'crediton'.
(Other definitions for edit that I've seen before include "Rewrite" , "Make alterations (in text)" , "Be in charge (of paper)" , "work on newspaper?" , "Make changes to (text)" .)
