# Essay Writing

Choose the essay type, thesis, audience, structure, evidence, and desired voice. Create a strong opening, coherent paragraphs, transitions, counterarguments when useful, and a conclusion that follows from the argument. For personal essays, preserve the writer's real experiences and do not invent memories.
