Just a short post for now. Before putting up EssayRep’s own writing skills guides, I thought it would be nice to point out a few sites out there that already have some good content on the same topic.

Just a few here.

1) Basic Guide to Essay Writing
- A 7-step basic guide to essay writing. The author even provides a sample essay plus links to other essay resource sites.
- However, I find that, even for students, the guide is a bit too basic and sparse on details. For example, the step on ‘Writing the Body Paragraph’ concentrates on only one popular style of writing the body of an essay, i.e. thesis, supporting point, elaboration, summary.

2) Student Help: Study Skills - Essay Writing
- A basic list of points to remember when writing essays, primarily school/college essays. Good as a refresher.
- Since it was never meant to be anything more than a list of points, it fulfills its purpose.

Well, I hope I didn’t sound too critical on those sites because I’m not very good either. Just wanted to provide my take on these two sites (which, for your information, are the top two links when Googling for “essay writing skills”).
