The word essay originates from the French word, essai, meaning “an attempt”—which is fitting since we often dread the attempt to write one. But the essay is also one of the most historied, flexible, and exciting forms of written expression. 

The essay can be academic or literary, argumentative or informative, critical or inquisitive. It can be as short as a single paragraph or as long as an entire book!

Learn what makes a great essay and never dread writing one again.
