Writer Kingsley (4)
I believe the answer is:
amis
'writer kingsley' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for amis that I've seen before include "Kingsley, Martin or John" , "Author Kingsley or Martin" , "Martin --, Eng. author" , "Kingsley -, English author (Lucky Jim)" , "English writer" .)
