Well-read party that's considering writing? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
book club
'well-read party' is the definition.
(group of people who read books)
'considering writing?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'writing?' could be 'book' (book is a kind of writing) and 'book' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'club' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'that's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for book club that I've seen before include "literary gathering" , "Society giving members cheaper access to reading material" , "Lit. Soc." , "Society for readers" , "group of readers" .)
