Essay, You Say?		Rated: 13+
A place to advertise items of an essay nature.
by: Davy Kraken	Avg Rating: (12)

Among the different types of static items on Writing.Com, poetry and short stories generally receive the lion's share of the attention. With only a small fraction of my portfolio devoted to these mediums of expression, I am more than aware of the disparity in number of reviews between them and most of the rest of my works. It is because of this inequality that I often seek out more neglected forms of writing. One I am particularly fond of is essays.

This page is devoted to the promotion of essays within Writing.Com. Essays needn't necessarily be of the "essay" item type. They could also be articles, columns, critiques, editorials, or theses, to name a few. Most generally, essays come in three types: narrative, informative, and argumentative. Even essays not necessarily considered "persuasive," however, often directly reflect the thoughts and opinions of their authors.

Submit an Essay Advertisement:

You may post up to five essays at once. This is probably more than enough for most people, but I just want to ensure nobody monopolizes the list. If you have five posts on the page on would like to make another post, you will have to delete one of your existing posts.

This page is rated 13+. You may plug essays with content ratings E through XGC, and the intro may be rated non-E; however, any intro that would qualify as 18+ can’t be posted here.

Personally, my favorite type of essay is one offering a "controversial" opinion. I don't agree with writing something for the sole purpose of offending sensibilities, but I commend those who bravely express opinions likely to provoke some people along the way. However, all types of essays are welcome here.

I think I can be particularly helpful if you need some assistance with technical issues, but I try my best to offer a well-rounded review that includes thoughts on the content of the essay as well.
