Article about author seeking privacy? (4)
I believe the answer is:
anon
'author seeking privacy?' is the definition.
(anonymous author)
'article about' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'about' becomes 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic).
'an'+'on'='ANON'
(Other definitions for anon that I've seen before include "Soon or presently" , "Of unknown name (abbr)" , "Mystery writer" , "soon to be written" , "Nameless - presently" .)
