Happy to review story with editor (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elated

'happy' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'review story with editor' is the wordplay.
'review' is a reversal indicator.
'story' becomes 'tale' (synonyms).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'tale' backwards is 'elat'.
'elat'+'ed'='ELATED'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for elated that I've seen before include "Intensely happy" , "Overjoyed, in high spirits" , "Overjoyed, happy and excited" , "Intensely delighted and proud" , "Overjoyed, really delighted" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
