Writer is presumptuous concerning club (10)
I believe the answer is:
boldrewood
'writer' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'presumptuous concerning club' is the wordplay.
'presumptuous' becomes 'bold' (I've seen this in another clue).
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'club' becomes 'wood' (wood is a kind of club).
'bold'+'re'+'wood'='BOLDREWOOD'
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
