Writer's place for putting in speech (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

greene

'writer's' is the definition.
(graham greene)

'place for putting in speech' is the wordplay.
'place for putting' becomes 'green' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in speech' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'green' is a homophone of 'GREENE'.

(Other definitions for greene that I've seen before include "The Quiet American author" , "Graham --, British author" , "Graham --, Eng. author" , "writer" , "See 13" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
