Get past the blank page with a strong essay introduction
The hardest part of any essay is the first paragraph. You know roughly what you want to argue, but turning that into an opening that hooks the reader and sets up your thesis can eat an hour before you've written a word of the actual essay.
This free essay introduction writer gives you a solid first draft to react to. You provide the topic and your main argument, and it writes an opening paragraph with a hook, a little context, and a clear thesis statement — appropriate for a high-school or undergraduate essay. It's a starting point to refine in your own voice, not a finished essay to hand in as-is.
How to use it
Enter your essay topic in the first box — the more specific, the better. In the second box, write your thesis or the main point you intend to argue. You don't need perfect phrasing; a rough sentence is enough for the tool to work with.
Generate the introduction, then make it yours: adjust the hook, tweak the wording, and make sure the thesis matches exactly what the rest of your essay will argue. Use it to break the inertia, then write the body in your own words.
