Writer Hemingway (6)
I believe the answer is:
ernest
'writer hemingway' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ernest that I've seen before include "character for Wilde" , "- Shackleton, Antarctic explorer" , "Male" , "- Bevin, twentieth century Labour politician" , "chap" .)
