One writer's novel (3)
I believe the answer is:
new
'novel' is the definition.
(novel means new or fresh)
'one writer's' is the wordplay.
'NEW' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for new that I've seen before include "Contemporary" , "Fresh, unused" , "Not previously used" , "Recently made, etc" , "Unconventional" .)
