Writing an introduction for an academic essay or paper can set you and your whole assignment up for success. Start Your Essay Strong with a Powerful Introduction! You can follow a few steps to make sure your introduction prepares your reader for both your thesis and your essay in general. Keep in mind Erin's tip too: Try writing your introduction after you've written the rest of your essay. This way, you'll know what you're introducing! Friends, this video focuses on academic writing, not business or professional writing. If you are writing for work, you will not want to write a long introduction as suggested here.
