'writer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'thrown by scots hooligan entering sober society' is the wordplay.
'thrown' becomes 'cast' (I've seen this in another clue).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'scots hooligan' becomes 'ned' (Scottish term for a hooligan).
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'sober society' becomes 'AA' (Alcoholics Anonymous).
'ned' inserted within 'aa' is 'aneda'.
'cast'+'aneda'='CASTANEDA'
