Tips for a better essay title

  • The classic pattern is "Hook: What the Essay Actually Argues".
  • Use the key terms from your thesis so the reader knows the subject at a glance.
  • Check your style guide: APA and MLA have rules for capitalizing titles; the title case converter handles both.
  • Write the title last, once you know what the essay concludes.
