Those making an impression in the world of literature? (8)

'those making an' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'impression in the world of literature?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'impression' could be 'print' (impression created by a printer) and 'print' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ers' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
