### Clue: Sleeps over with editor but rejected by him (6)
### Answer: SPIKED 
 ### Explanation: Definition: rejected by him
  Reversal(*over*) of KIPS(*sleeps*, naps) +(*with*) ED(*$$ed$$itor*).  Defn:  In journalism, from those days when editors would reject a story by literally spiking the paper it was typed/written on, through a pointed spindle.  I'd rate this a semi &lit at least.
