Author's name given for each sentence? (6)
I believe the answer is:
byline
'each sentence?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'author's name given' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'name' could be 'lin' and 'lin' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bye' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for byline that I've seen before include "end of play" , "attribution" , "Credit for one reporting" , "Credit given author" .)
