Sort of writer with spirit? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ghost

I believe this is a double definition.

'sort of writer' is the first definition.

'spirit?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ghost that I've seen before include "Spectre, wraith" , "insubstantial presence" , "Apparition; faint trace" , "Write for another" , "who has a haunting act?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
