Tips from writer with daughter in America (6)
I believe the answer is:
upends
'tips' is the definition.
'writer with daughter in america' is the wordplay.
'writer with' becomes 'pen' (I've seen this in other clues).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'america' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for the United States).
'pen'+'d'='pend'
'pend' inserted within 'us' is 'UPENDS'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for upends that I've seen before include "Stands bottom over top" , "Send up in reverses" , "Turns upside down, overturns" , "affects to a great extent" .)
