Worry about American work, editor added detail (10)
I believe the answer is:
elaborated
'added detail' is the definition.
'worry about american work editor' is the wordplay.
'worry' becomes 'eat' (eating is a kind of worrying).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'american work' becomes 'labor' (US spelling of 'labour').
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'eat' placed around 'labor' is 'elaborat'.
'elaborat'+'ed'='ELABORATED'
(Another definition for elaborated that I've seen is " Added detail to (an account)".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
