Essay Writing Tips
- Start with an outline: Divide your word count across introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion before writing.
- Introduction & conclusion: Each typically takes 10-15% of your total word count.
- Body paragraphs: Aim for 150-250 words per paragraph with one main idea each.
- 250 words per page is the standard estimate for double-spaced, 12pt font academic papers.
- Read aloud speed is approximately 130 words per minute.
- First draft: Write freely without worrying about the target. Revise and expand later.
