Essay Outline Generator

Plan an essay in minutes: type your topic, choose the essay type and word count, and get hook ideas, a ready-to-fill thesis statement, a full paragraph plan and a word budget for every section.

How to use

1. Enter your essay topic, choose the essay type and the target word count.
2. Press Generate Outline to get hook ideas, a thesis template and a paragraph-by-paragraph plan.
3. Copy the outline into your document or download it as a text file, then write each section using its word budget.

Tips

• Use the word budgets as a guide: the body paragraphs should take about two thirds of your total words.
• Pick one hook and start writing the intro the same day — an outline only works if you use it.
• Keep every body paragraph to one main point; move extra points into a new paragraph.
• Save your evidence sources as you write, so the bibliography does not take extra hours later.
