Abstract

You know those worry spots in your paper, the ones you know are there but you’re sort of hoping the reader won’t notice? They will. Whatever the worry spot, big or small, it needs attention before you consider the paper ready for submission. This Writer’s Craft treats these worry spots as “Dear Reader” moments – that is, moments where you should directly address a potential reader concern – and explains how to use metacommentary to achieve this.
