Run article Henry McDonald edited for writer (7,8)
I believe the answer is:
raymond chandler
'writer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'run article henry mcdonald edited' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'edited' is an anagram indicator.
'henry'+'mcdonald'='henrymcdonald'
'henrymcdonald' with letters rearranged gives 'ymondchandler'.
'r'+'a'+'ymondchandler'='RAYMOND CHANDLER'
'for' acts as a link.
(Another definition for raymond chandler that I've seen is " writer".)
