How Long Does It Take to Write a 1000 Word Essay?

How long does it take to write an essay?

How long does it take to research an essay?

If you’re writing an opinion piece on something you already have some knowledge about, you may not have to do any research at all. It may just be a matter of organizing your existing thoughts into a coherent essay. If you need to find out about a topic before you begin to write, you can easily get information on certain topics, whilst others will be more obscure and therefore more difficult to research. Clearly, the easier it is to find information, the faster you can write.

How good are your reading comprehension skills?

Some of us can just skim a piece and pick up all the salient points. Others will have to read with more attention, and even re-read a piece several times to extract the information we need. Having good reading and comprehension skills makes writing much faster since you’re able to “get” the facts faster and organize them better. Now you know why you had to do so many reading comprehension tests at school.

How well did you plan?

Throwing yourself headlong at a 1,000-word essay and writing till you reach the word count may seem like the easy option, but it isn’t. Planning your essay so that it begins with an introduction, highlights the most important points you want to make and then wraps everything up into a conclusion actually saves you time. Sometimes, essay instructions will tell you how to structure the piece, so read them carefully and extract any information you can use to guide your essay’s structure.

How fast do you type?

Have you ever gotten lost halfway through a sentence? You know what you wanted to say, but halfway through, the thought slips away from you. The faster you can type , the more easily you can capture thoughts before your mind moves onto the next thing and you forget what you were trying to say. Typing skills are essential in the modern world. Consider using typing games to improve your speed.

How long does it take me to write a 1,000-word essay?

Faster isn’t always better. The more in-depth your report is meant to be, the longer you should spend on it. I can usually research and write a fairly technical magazine article of 1,000 words in three hours, but do remember that I’m a professional writer. I’m fast because I write all day, every day.

The longest I’ve ever spent on a 1,000-word article was 12 hours. It was absolutely brutal! The information I needed to gather was very technical, hard to find, and even more difficult to understand, and you can’t write something until you really understand the subject matter. I also had to contact experts for their opinions, but I couldn’t even ask about their opinions until I could target them with the right questions. As a result, I actually had to write most of the article before slotting in the expert comment.

The quickest I’ve ever written a 1,000-word article is one hour. In this case, I already knew the subject matter well and didn’t have to back up every fact in the essay with references.

Reviewing your work also matters

If you’re writing for grades and want a good one, you need a really good essay. Don’t start writing it the day before you have to hand it in. Try and get your first draft down at least a day or two before you have to submit your work. Then return to it and do your editing. Read your essay aloud to yourself, since this will help you pick up any careless errors you wouldn’t otherwise spot. Check to see if your information flows logically from one point to the next and make sure that you’ve presented your information clearly.

Remember, teachers get tired. They have to read the same kind of essay over and over again when they grade. If they struggle to understand what you’re saying, you might not get as good a grade as you would if you stuck to using short sentences and relatively simple language.

Your reviewing process shouldn’t take all that long. If you don’t have to make a lot of changes, you should be able to do your final edit in under half an hour.

Take your time. Whatever you do, don’t rush. You might want your essay to be written quickly, but if it’s an important essay, taking your time will give you a better finished product. Budget your time conservatively. It’s better to find that you’ve still got time left over than to run out of time and end up dashing things off with a looming deadline.

This isn’t accurate. I wrote my 1000 word essay in an hour, not three hours. You should change the times you have listed to reflect how long it actually takes to write. Obviously you don’t know since the mes you listed are not the same as what I can do!

Did you even read the article? The writer says that it’s based on what she writes and is just a general approximation. How long it takes you or anybody else to write an essay will obviously be different because you’re not the same as everybody else. Nobody writes at the same speed so how long it takes you to write an essay will be different for every person.

Someone doesn’t understand the meaning of “rough estimate”

Well then you must be superhuman or some shit I don’t care, I came here for a question not your butthurt comments. Also, if your so good at writing I wouldn’t have found 2 typos in 2 sentences 🙂

*you’re

If you already have all the research done and know what you want to say, then a 1000 word essay shouldn’t take more than an hour to write. In fact, it probably can be done in 30 minutes or less. The time-consuming part of an essay is the research and how long that takes depends on how much you have to do. But the actual writing of the essay shouldn’t take too long at all.

But research is part of the writing process. If a person writes a book, they don’t only count the time it took them at the typewriter writing. They count all the time it took to research the book as well. Trying to separate the two doesn’t make sense.

I think an important thing to point out here is that there’s a huge difference between writing a 1000 word essay and writing a good 1000 word essay. You can write an essay in hardly any time at all if you don’t do the proper research and don’t spend time editing what you wrote. If you’re going to write a good essay, it’s going to take more time. You should always give yourself more time than you think you’re going to need to get it done.

This applies to all writing. Writing and writing something something well will have a huge time discrepancy even if both writings are the same length. Just because you are able to finish something quickly doesn’t mean that’s the best way to do it.

Exactly! Actually, it can take hours or days to come up with the right line – or it can come in seconds. There’s no real counting in terms of the creative process.

Days to come up with the right line? 😀

It does. Sometimes, no matter how hard you look at something, you won’t be satisfied with it. It may take you days to figure it out. And then, one fine day, you suddenly stand up right in the middle of breakfast and then run upstairs and then type out the right line. Source: personal experience

I just spent 8 hours on a 500-word monologue… This comment made me feel better.

Wow, your advice is excellent it motivated me to do a lot better in my essay.

In my opinion, hours that are presented here a partially true. It may take about an hor to write 300 word essay but editing also takes some time. So on averege, I count the time to write the piece itself + time edit everything.

Research, first draft writing, editing, and rewriting are all part of the writing process. I think the time it takes to do all of them should be counted in the time it takes.

It takes way too long! Teachers should not be allowed to assign essays more than 250 words. They always complain they don’t have enough time and work too hard. It’s only because they make their students do too much work!!

This comment just makes you look lazy. 250 words is nothing. Any topic that needs to be explored will take many more words than this. If you don’t want to write, just admit it and don’t try to project that on others.

If you do your research, use annotations for resources and understand to whom and what you have to transfer than the fewer words the better. Remember that you are demonstrating deep knowledge of the topic by making it accessible to the audience without them doing the research. Simplify, simplify, simplify.

Contrary to what academia self-righteously preach, its imperative for any writing and explanation of thought to be simplified. If you cant explain it in short time/short essay you don’t understand it enough.

I disagree, I feel 250 words is way too less to explain any topic. In my opinion, the maximum word count for an essay should be 1500.

It should take long enough that you get all the points you want across in the writing, but not too long as to bore the reader. Writing should be engaging, not boring.

Nice philosophy, but completely unhelpful if you have a paper due tomorrow and limited amount of time to write. The real world doesn’t work that way.

If someone has an essay due tomorrow and they waste time reading this, then they are a bit of an idiot for giving themselves even less time to work with. If they’re leaving work to the last minute like that, then the only thing they should be doing is jumping right in and writing (or planning the essay, but that should be done much sooner).

This is so arbitrary and will depend on the individual. It’s like asking the question, “how long does it take to write a book?” For some, it will only take a couple of months while for others it will take a lifetime. it also depends on the type of writing you’re doing. Some writing is easy and quick and other writing is difficult and requires huge amounts of research.

The uphill task of writing an essay is doing thorough research. Once you have completed the research, you can deliver a 1000 word paper per hour

I completely agree with you on that one. I recently worked on a 4000 word essay, and while the research did take me three hours to conduct, I completed the essay itself in a bit less than four hours and scored a total of 32/34 points.

So happy to read that! That’s because I just realised, that that is what I needed to read. I’ve got two months to write six 2500 word essays. I’ve been procrastinating because I’m simply in fear of doing a bad job. I’ve done lots of research; made lots of notes; collected citations and written nothing. It’s time. I can do this!

I’m writing a 1600 word essay right now as I type this lol

Then show me after you have finished.

Im writing a 2500 word essay, almost done, I can’t even imagine writing a 10000 word essay in university, that sounds EXTREMELY painful 🙁

I found these estimations quite accurate, thank you.

I’m writing a narrative for my English class right this moment and the word requirements are 800-1000. I’ve only been working for two hours and I’m at 1,157. I’m nowhere near done…

your word requirements are 800-1000 and u have 1157? You’ve been done for a while I would say

Wow i have to write a 1 500 word essay in 4 days and I have about 1050 words left Dono how long thats gonna take me 😂😭😭😭

I am writing a dissertation and those estimations made me positive because just 41 hour to write 12,000 essay seems nothing. But at the moment I just finished literature review(though the hardest part yet) without editing I am already at over 35 hours of work. And that’s not even a half! But I am aiming for a good grade though…

I’ve found these estimates incredibly accurate in my years in college. I’m about to graduate next week and have one more 3500 word paper to write. We’ll see if the estimates hold true. However, the estimates (for me at least) don’t include the time it takes to edit so I usually add a little time depending on how long the essay/paper has to be.

Wow, these tips are helpful, Thank You to the creator of this website. These tips helped me a lot in my essay for school.

Often, the phrase “word limit” causes panic among students. After all, if an essay is too long or too short, your grade will be lowered. However, in reality, there’s nothing to worry about. When it comes to words, limitations are beneficial for both the students and the professors.

Let’s see what exactly it means.

Many people believe that the longer an essay is, the better. However, according to Frontiers, research shows that it’s a bias that couldn’t be further from the truth. A perfect-length paper is one that allows students to express their ideas and showcase their knowledge fully while keeping it clean and simple.

What Influences Essay Length

Various factors determine the length of an essay. Here are the most important ones:

Just in 1 hour! We will write you a plagiarism-free paper in hardly more than 1 hour

Let’s start with the essentials. Usually, assignment length is given as a number of words rather than pages. Unless your supervisor or instructor mentions any specific limitations, it’s acceptable to be 10% below or above the word limit.

It’s also worth knowing the 80/20 rule . According to it, the body should constitute 80% of the text, while the intro and the conclusion take up the remaining 20%.

Keep reading to learn more about the recommended length of each essay part. The main numbers are shown in the table below:

How Long Should an Introduction Be?

An introduction is the first section and the face of your essay. For that reason, it needs to be compelling and well-thought-out. Usually, it consists of 3 to 5 sentences or 50 to 80 words .

An introduction must have a hook, some background information, and a thesis statement. While the attention grabber and the thesis are usually brief, you may need 2 to 3 sentences for the background. To avoid going overboard, try to stay on topic and don’t add any filler.

How Long Is a Body Paragraph in an Essay?

The length of a body paragraph may vary. Sometimes, it can be limited to a single sentence. In other cases, it may take up a whole page. Usually, it’s recommended to have between 80 and 200 words (5-8 sentences) per body paragraph.

Since the paper’s body contains the most information, it’s necessary to explain and support your ideas properly. That’s why it’s no big deal if your body paragraphs go slightly over the word limit.

How Many Body Paragraphs Should Be in an Essay?

Like the word count, the number of paragraphs is determined by the type of paper and its topic. The minimum is 1. Generally, however, the body consists of 3-5 paragraphs , 1 for each argument.

To improve your paper’s structure, ensure that there are as many paragraphs as there are points in your thesis statement. Each one should have a purpose and support your arguments. If there’s any fluff, it’s better to get rid of it.

How Long Should a Conclusion Be?

Like the introduction, the conclusion consists of 50-80 words . It’s essential to keep it simple and only mention the central ideas. A weak concluding sentence may affect the reader’s understanding of the topic and spoil the overall impression of your paper.

🤔 How to Make Essays Shorter or Longer: Best Tips

Undoubtedly the essay’s content is more important than the number of words you use. But there are times when students go more than 10-15% below or over the limit. Is there a solution to this problem?

Yes, there is! In this section, we will share the most useful tips to help you stay on point with your paper’s word count.

How to Make Essays Longer

Since having enough words is essential for a good grade, we’ve collected the best tips that can help you lengthen your essay without teachers noticing:

  • Use relevant quotations.  You don’t need to litter your essay with citations, but using them whenever appropriate is a great idea. For instance, if you’re working on a book analysis, referencing a couple of direct quotes from the source text will make your essay more credible and increase the word count.
  • Give examples.  Go through the claims in your paper and provide additional evidence where possible. It will make your essay longer and more informative.
  • Use transitional expressions.  Adding transition words and phrases is a natural way of increasing the number of words. It will also improve your essay’s readability. 
  • Add more references.  Providing references is always a good idea when writing a formal essay. That way, you will increase the number of words and make your paper more credible.
  • Work on your descriptions.  If you struggle to develop new ideas, go over what you’ve already written and consider adding some descriptive words. It’s a great idea for creative essays to include more imagery. 

How to Shorten an Essay

Another struggle of academic writing is cutting down the number of words in your essay to meet a set limit. We are here to tell you that it’s not that hard. Writing straightforwardly and keeping your sentences short is a key to concise content. Here are several strategies you may use to tighten a lengthy essay:

  • Choose the active voice.  It takes up less space than passive voice. Using it also makes your writing more professional and compelling.
  • Remove needless transitions.  Transitions can indeed maintain the flow of the paper. But some transitional phrases can be easily removed.
  • Get rid of unnecessary adverbs and adjectives.  Some students tend to overuse adjectives and adverbs. It adds wordiness to their writing.
  • Avoid running starts.  Some students like to start their sentences with long phrases like: “there are,” “it is believed,” or “the fact that.” Getting rid of them makes texts much more concise.
  • Delete “that.”  In most cases, the word “that” can often be easily removed from texts.

Another cool trick is to use our summarizing tool as essay shortener. Try it out!

📑 How Long Is an Essay Depending on Formatting?

As we mentioned earlier, the essay’s length is usually limited by the number of words. But sometimes, a teacher may ask you to write a specific number of pages. This is trickier because the amount of text you can place on the page depends on the formatting. By using the font size and spacing properly, it’s possible to make the paper visually longer or shorter. Let’s discuss it in more detail.

The picture describes how formatting affects essay length.

Essay Spacing: How Does It Affect the Length?

  • Adjusting the spacing between lines.  Try to make the changes as slight as possible. For instance, if you were asked to double-space the paper, use 2.1 or 2.2 spacing instead. Another option is to slightly extend spaces between paragraphs.
  • Extending the margin size.  You can increase the right and bottom margins by a quarter to make very subtle changes in length. For example, if the margins are 1 inch , you can set them at 1.25 inches instead. 
  • Increasing the spacing between characters.  It is less noticeable than the line spacing. Still, try not to overdo it and keep the numbers between 1.2 and 1.5 . 
  • Adjusting the footer.  Add a footer with page numbers to stretch the bottom margin even further.
  • Lengthening the header.  You can extend your header by adding your name, e-mail address, or other relevant information. Another option is double-spacing it.

Length of an Essay: Font and Size

  • Using the right type of font.  If your instructor didn’t specify which font you should use, go for the bigger ones. We suggest Arial, Bangla Sangam MN, Cambria, or Quicksand. They will make your text look longer without being too on the nose.  
  • Using a bigger font size.  This is another technique that can come in handy. However, be careful and don’t increase your font by more than 0.1-0.5 pt.  
  • Increasing the size of periods and commas.   This is one of the less noticeable tricks you can use. For instance, if your paper’s font is 12 pt. , increase it to 14 pt. only for punctuation marks. Italicizing periods and commas will also add several lines of length to your essay. 

What to Do if There Are No Length Guidelines

Sometimes a teacher sets no word limit for a written work. What to do in that case? Well, first, you can ask your professor to confirm if they have simply forgotten to mention it. But if that’s not the case, here are a couple of helpful solutions:

  • Think of the paragraph number.  Sometimes, you may be given the number of paragraphs instead of words. In that case, you can decide on the number of words depending on how many paragraphs you have. 
  • Think about the topic’s complexity.  The length of your paper is also directly dependent on the theme. If the topic is simple, 4-5 paragraphs will be enough. A more complex issue may require an in-depth explanation, so your essay can be 6-8 paragraphs long.

❓ Essay Length for Different Academic Levels FAQ

The length of the elementary school essay is usually short. Usually, a paper needs to have around 3-5 paragraphs, with 4-5 sentences per paragraph. Primary school essays can be 1-2 paragraphs long.

  • Count how many words there are in one line. Take the first and last lines and a line in the middle of a page. Let’s say there are 15, 14, and 15 words in them. Then, the average number of words per line is 15.
  • Next, count how many lines there are on one page. Let’s say there are 17 lines on a page.
  • Take the number of words per line and multiply it by the number of lines per page. In our case, we multiply 15 by 17. So, there are 255 words per page on average.
  • Finally, multiply the number of words per page by the number of pages. If your essay has 3 pages, it is approximately 765 words long.

How Long Does it Take to Write an Essay?

It is crucial to know how long writing will take you, especially if you are working on an exam essay or just short on time. Note that you need to consider the time for typing and researching necessary to complete a piece. Research time may vary. Usually, it’s 1-2 hours for 200-250 words .

Your Ultimate Guide To Writing A 700-Word Essay In 2023

700 word essay

Table of Contents

In schools and colleges, writing is at the heart of learning. After delivering a lecture and teaching a new thing to students, teachers expect students to be able to reproduce that in any form in writing. That’s why they assign tasks related to the topic and students need to produce unique solutions to the question.

Essay writing, on the other hand, is a deliberate act where students attempt to answer a question. Even when there is no direct question in the title, an essay is always about answering a question or resolving an issue, with what they believe to be true.

In this blog post, we will take a look at the art of essay writing , the types of essays that are popular in schools and colleges, and how to write a 700-word essay.

Art of Essay Writing

Many students make the mistake of thinking that essay writing is about sitting down at a table and churning out a piece of writing with distinct sections and focus. That’s not true! Essay writing is a process where a writer produces a discourse on a specific topic to help readers understand the underlying mechanics and dynamics of the topic. An essay has three major sections – opening, main body, and closing. Each one serves a specific purpose, with its division of paragraphs and words. 

It is at the heart of all the grander versions of writing because it is at the foundation of both fiction and non-fiction works. Writers who turn out to be the best in business start by practicing and mastering the art of essay writing. That’s why students should spend time and other resources to learn the craft and apply the science behind it to other writing endeavors.

Types of Essays For Schools & Colleges

There is no single type of essay that fit all the needs of the writers and the readers. Based on the subject and focus on the contents, countless types of essays are written by both school and college students. But certain essays are popular in academic institutions for their apparent benefits to aspiring writers.

In this section, we will take a look at four of those and ensure that students understand them well and attempt to write great ones.

Narrative Essays

A narrative essay is a subjective discourse surrounding a personal incident, experience, or event. That subject or stimulus of the change is influential enough to alter the further course of events for the writer. It is emotional and charged with flowery prose so that readers can be moved or inspired by it. The structure of a narrative essay is the same as that of any other standard essay.

Descriptive Essays

A descriptive essay describes a subject under consideration in either objective or subjective terms. The subject of a descriptive essay can be a person, an object, a place, or an event. Writers employ both figurative language and sensory details to bridge the distances of space and time to draw a picture of the subject for readers. This type of essay, combined with narrative essays, is the easiest one.

Personal Response Essays

A personal response essay covers a writer’s opinions or views regarding a subject. That subject can be a book, a movie, an event, or something significant, for both the writers and the readers. Personal response essays are also required in college admission tests where committees ask for aspirants’ views on certain things. It is shorter in format and structure compared to other standard essays.

Reflection Essays

Reflection essays, as the name suggests, are personal views and opinions of writers regarding a subject. In this case, the subject can be as trivial as a college course, a seminar, or a laboratory session. Whatever that is, it can be molded into something more practical and relatable. Reflection essays are usually covered in colleges and higher education levels because of their complexity.

Writing A 700-Word Essay

Now that we have identified some of the most common types of essays in schools and colleges, it is time to cover the premise of the blog. A 700-word essay is no different from a 500-word essay or a 1500-word essay. However, the obvious difference comes from the word count and length of the text.

This section is dedicated to helping you with a process that you can reproduce every time you need to write a 700-word essay.

Collecting Information

This is the most important part of the process that many students miss out on. Even when you have a solid command of a subject, there are chances that you do not have the latest information on recent development. Also, we tend to forget numbers and statistics quickly which can enrich our texts. Also, you can determine the level and scope of your essay by going through the research phase.

Creating An Outline

Outlining is considered to be the death of creativity by many writers. In truth, it is far from it. Outlining provides discipline and direction to the text before the real writing begins. This prevents bottlenecks and delays where writers could have to scramble to progress. The best way to create an outline of the essay is by doing it with research so that you can cover two pre-writing tasks in one go.

Writing The First Draft

This is the real milestone that writers need to cover before they can even think about having a 700-word essay on their hands. After researching and outlining, it is best to get to the task without needlessly delaying it. This will save them from writer’s block and ensure that they have a finished manuscript as soon as possible. Compared to the editing and proofreading phase, this should be dealt with quickly.

Editing & Proofreading

Again, many novice writers and students in schools and colleges take this step lightly. They believe that if they write the first draft carefully, they would not have to go through this phase. This is a false notion as no matter how meticulous they are with the first draft, they will not be able to produce a flawless piece of text. Editing and proofreading are at the center of exceptional writing and there is no way around it.

Practical Tips For Completing A 700-Word Essay

We hope that students will be able to produce a unique and original piece of work based on our simple guide. Still, many ask for tips and hacks to quickly get started and finish the task. In this light, we have dedicated this section to cover some tips. This should be employed in conjunction with the best practices of writing and editing essays.

Connecting The Dots

When it comes to the process of finding relevant information to prove a point, writers need to provide a complete picture to the readers. They can either provide all the clues to the issue or they can cover the basics and let the readers do the connecting themselves. So, whatever way a writer wants to progress, it has to be consistent.

Writing Clearly & Precisely

There is no beating around the bush when you have to write a 700-word essay on a focused topic. Instead of using mouthful words with little to no practical value to the text, writers should gun for clear and precise vocabulary and vernacular. In that, students should write in small and clear sentences with variations across the text.

Getting Peer Reviews

The work of a writer is not done when he finishes writing a text. It is when the text is flawless. Even some argue that a piece of writing should be the best version of itself. In that light, writers should get peer reviews to ensure that there are no obvious and implied errors and inconsistencies in the essay.

Which essays can be covered in a 700-word slot?

The essays that can be covered in a 700-word slot are as follows:

  • Narrative essays
  • Personal response essays
  • Reflection essays
  • Descriptive essays

Is it necessary to research before writing a 700-word essay?

Of course! Research is always at the heart of writing a solid essay. We cannot store empirical evidence for academic topics in our heads. That’s why we need to go through both primary and secondary sources of information before outlining and writing the essay.

What is the ideal word count range for a 700-word essay?

There is no way you can exactly finalize a 700-word essay on this word count mark. There is always an acceptable range in academia because then it would not be too long or short. We can say from experience that 650 to 750 words are the acceptable range for a 700-word essay.

How much time does it take to write a 700-word essay?

If you are a good typist with reasonable command over your keyboard, you can type 700 words in under an hour. If we assume that you need around an hour to research and outline the essay, we can say that a 700-word essay takes around two hours to finish.

Can I write a 700-word essay in a day or an hour?

A day is enough to collect relevant information and write a 700-word essay. On the other hand, if you have only one hour to finish the essay, you need to cover a lot of ground in that slot. These include researching, writing, and editing a 700-word essay.

How can I secure the best marks in my 700-word essay?

Following are some of the best practices that can help you cover all the ground:

  • Research before writing
  • Outlining from start to finish
  • Writing the first draft quickly
  • Proofreading and editing
  • Getting peer reviews before submission

Summing Up The Discussion

A 700-word essay comes in the middle when we talk about both short and long essays. In this blog, we have covered both basic grounds and highlighted the best practices to ensure that everything is right on the mark. From the definition of essay writing to dividing the process into simple steps, students can find gems of the practice of writing a 700-word essay in this resource.

What Is an Academic 700-Word Essay?

An academic 700-word essay is a relatively short piece of academic writing that encompasses approximately 700 words. It requires concise and focused exploration of a topic within a limited word count. Despite its brevity, a 700-word essay still allows for the development of a central thesis or argument and the presentation of supporting evidence and analysis. A 700-word essay challenges the writer to present a focused and concise analysis of a topic, making every word count while still providing a well-structured and well-supported piece of academic writing.

What Does a 700-Word Essay Look Like?

A 700-word essay typically consists of an introduction (approximately 100-150 words), several body paragraphs (approximately 500-550 words), and a conclusion (approximately 50-100 words). These word counts are approximate and can be adjusted based on the specific requirements of your essay. It's important to maintain a clear and concise writing style, prioritize relevant information, and ensure a coherent and logical flow of ideas throughout the essay.

How Many Words Is 700 Characters for an Essay?

In terms of word count, there is no direct conversion between characters and words because the number of characters can vary depending on the length of each word and the presence of spaces and punctuation. However, as a rough estimate, an average word in English consists of about 5 characters. Based on this estimate, if you have 700 characters, you could expect it to be roughly equivalent to around 140 words. Keep in mind that this is an approximation, and the actual word count may vary depending on the specific content and composition of the text. To get an accurate word count, it is recommended to use a word processing tool or an online word count tool that can analyze the text and provide an exact word count.

How Long is a 700-Word Essay in Pages?

To provide a specific approximation, assuming the essay is written in 12-point Times New Roman font with double spacing and normal margins (1 inch or 2.54 cm), a 700-word essay would occupy approximately two pages. These estimations are based on average word and page counts, and they can vary depending on individual writing style, formatting choices, and the specific requirements or guidelines provided by your instructor or institution. Therefore, it's always advisable to follow the formatting instructions given for your essay to determine the exact page length required.

What Structure Does a 700-Word Paper Has?

The essay should have a well-defined structure, consisting of an introduction, body paragraphs that support the thesis with evidence and analysis, and a conclusion with key points. You can begin your intriduction with an engaging hook or attention-grabbing statement to capture the reader's interest and then present a clear and concise thesis statement that outlines the main argument or objective of the essay. Start each body paragraph with a topic sentence that introduces the main point or argument. Then present supporting evidence, examples, or data to substantiate the main point. In conclusion you should summarize the main points discussed in the essay and offer a final thought or suggestion that leaves the reader with a lasting impression.

A 500-word essay is an important piece of academic writing that describes the writer’s perspective on a certain point of view.

500-Word Essay vs. 250-Word Essay

The length of an essay can make a huge difference when it comes to the level of impact it has. A 500-word essay is typically much longer than a 250-word essay, allowing for more detail and evidence to be included in the paper. 

This additional content can help provide a strong argument or support a point of view, helping to make the essay more effective.

500-Word Essay vs. 1000-Word Essay 

When writing a 500-word essay, you should focus on providing an introduction that gives the reader some context for the topic at hand and then quickly moves into your main points.

A 500-word essay can be quite concise and to the point, so there’s no need to add filler or fluff just to reach the word count. 

1000+ word essays require more than just getting right to the point; they also require thorough research and in-depth analysis of your topic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sentences is a 500-word essay.

FAQ Icon

You can fit about 500 words on one page with standard margins, single spacing, and size 12 font. This is because there are usually 5 letters in each word, 15 words in a sentence, and an average of 7 sentences in a paragraph.

Can a 500-word essay have 4 paragraphs?

The length of your essay will depend on the type and topic. A 500-word paper can be 3-4 paragraphs long, while a 600 or 700-word document requires 4 to 5 paragraphs in order for it all to make sense.

How many references are needed for a 500-word essay?

Going by the 500-word essay length, you would not need to add more than 2-4 references since you’re limited by the word count. Each citation needs its introductory statement, followed by the source’s data and its explanation, so that leaves little room to add in too many sources.

Does a 500-word essay have to be exactly 500 words?

Yes, that’s because the general rule for any academic essay is to not exceed the given word count by more than 10%. So applying the same rule, your 500 word essay length should ideally not exceed 10%, that is 550 words, so you should try to wrap up your thoughts within that word count or otherwise risk a negative marking by the professor.

How long does it take to write an Essay

How long does it take to write an essay.

When you’re writing an essay, time is of the essence. but how long does it take to write an Essay? There is no set answer for how long it takes to write an essay. Some essays will be shorter or longer, depending on the topic and the amount of research that is needed. However, on average, It takes about 3 hours 20 minutes for a  slightly slower writer,25 minutes for an average writer,  and 16.7 minutes for a fast writer to write  1000 words but it would take longer for a more technical or detailed essay, of the same length.

How long does it take to write an Essay

One of the most important factors that will influence how long it takes to write an essay is the topic. If the topic is something that the writer is familiar with, it will be easier to write about and will take less time. some topics may be more complex or require more research than others, which could lead to a longer writing process. Additionally, some topics may be more personal or emotional for the writer, which could also lead to a longer writing time. Ultimately, it is up to the individual writer to determine how a particular topic affects the time it takes to write an essay.

Another factor that will influence how long it takes to write an essay is the purpose of the essay. If the essay is for a class, the teacher will likely have specific requirements that must be met. If the essay is for a contest or scholarship, there may be specific guidelines that must be followed. If the essay is for a job application, the employer will likely have specific requirements that must be met. In any case, meeting the specific requirements of the assignment will take longer than if there are no specific guidelines. On the other hand, if the purpose of the essay is to express personal thoughts and feelings, then there are no specific requirements that must be met. This type of essay can be written more quickly because the writer is not constrained by specific guidelines.

The purpose of an essay can also affect how long it takes to revise it. If the goal is to persuade or argue a point, revision may take longer because additional research may be necessary in order to strengthen the argument. If the goal is simply to clarify ideas or organize information, revision will likely take less time.

Regardless of what type of essay you are writing, taking your time and ensuring that your work is high quality will always result in a better-finished product.

One of the most important things to do when writing an essay is planning. As with any project, the amount of time it takes to write an essay depends on how well you plan and organize your work After all, you need to have a clear idea of what you are writing about and what type of essay you are writing. Many students don’t plan their essays because they think it’s unnecessary to plan. However, planning helps them write better and makes their writing process faster.

Having a working statement of what you are tackling is very important. It helps organize your ideas and guide your writing process. A good approach is to break the task into smaller and more manageable parts.

If you are having trouble developing a working statement, you can find inspiration in your course materials, online resources, or other essays. Once you have your points, you need to organize them in a logical way. A good way to do this is by creating an outline. An outline provides a road map of your essay and helps you stay on track.

If you already have a plan, it will be much easier for you to write your essay in a shorter amount of time. However, if you are starting from scratch, it may take a bit longer. Don’t get discouraged; just take your time and be patient. In the end, the effort will be worth it.

How long does it take to write an outline for an essay? Some students might spend a few hours writing an outline for an essay. Others might take a day or two. It really depends on the student and how comfortable they feel with the topic. The most important part is to make sure the outline is thorough. It should include all the points the student plans to make in the essay, as well as a summary of each point. This will help ensure that the essay flows smoothly and is well-organized.

Before you even start writing your essay, it’s important to do your research so that you can back up your argument with evidence.  This will help you gather information and develop your points. You can find useful resources in your course materials, online, or in other essays. The amount of time you need to spend on research depends on the length and complexity of the essay. For a short essay, you might only need to do a quick web search to find the relevant information. For a longer, more complex essay, you’ll need to do more in-depth research, which can take weeks or even months. The best way to do research for an essay is to start by developing a thesis statement. Your thesis statement is your argument boiled down to one sentence. Once you have a thesis statement, you can start looking for evidence that supports your argument.

Opinion essays just need critical thinking which might take the shortest time as no research is needed. You just have to brainstorm, arrange your ideas and speak out your mind on a paper.

How long it takes to write an essay depends on the assignment. Sometimes, students are given a short amount of time to complete an essay, while other times they are allotted more time. No matter the circumstance, it’s important to start early and to break the assignment into smaller parts. If you have a lot of time to write the essay, start by brainstorming ideas and creating an outline. Once you have a solid outline, start drafting the essay. Revise as necessary, and then polish it until it’s ready to submit. If you have a short amount of time, start by brainstorming ideas and creating an outline. Once you have a solid outline, start drafting the essay

A writer’s speed is also taken into consideration whether He/She is a slow or fast writer. There was a study done by Scholastic in which they asked thousands of students across the United States how long it took them to write an essay. The results showed that on average, students spent 3 hours and 20 minutes writing an essay for school. That’s including time spent brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and editing their work.

Editing an essay can be just as time-consuming as writing it. In fact, it may take even longer to edit an essay than to write it. This is because editing requires a careful reading of the essay and a thorough analysis of its contents. There are several steps that you can take to edit an essay effectively. The first step is to read the essay carefully and make sure that you understand its contents. The next step is to identify any errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The third step is to revise the essay’s structure and organization. The fourth step is to revise the essay’s content. And finally, the fifth step is to proofread the essay for mistakes.

Finally, the length of an essay can definitely affect the amount of time it takes to write. A shorter essay will usually take less time to write than a longer one. This is because there is less material to cover, and therefore it is simpler to organize your thoughts and get down to writing. With a longer essay, you may find yourself getting bogged down in details, which can lead to a slower writing process. Additionally, longer essays usually require more research, so you will need additional time for that as well. Ultimately, the length of an essay does have an impact on how long it takes to write it

There is no one answer to this question because it depends on a variety of factors, including the length and complexity of the essay, the level of expertise of the writer, and the amount of research that needs to be done. When it comes to writing an essay, having a clear purpose can help to speed up the process. Knowing exactly what you want to say and how you want to say it can help to focus your thoughts and keep you on track. This can be especially helpful when you are working under a tight deadline. The amount of preparation you do before starting to write makes a big difference. If you have a good understanding of the topic you are writing about and you have collected all of the necessary information, you will probably be able to write more quickly than if you are starting from scratch.

In the end, it all comes down to practice. The more you write, the faster you will become. So don’t be discouraged if it takes a while to get your writing speed up to where you want it to be. Just keep practicing and eventually, you will get there.

Now, all that is left to do is to write your 1000 word essay. Use a plan that you have prepared beforehand to start working on the first version of your paper – a rough draft . Focus on developing your major points you’ve indicated in the outline. Make sure you stick to the allotted word count. 

Start by  writing an introduction. Briefly present your topic and thesis statement. Then, approach each aspect and provide evidence to support your arguments in the body section of your essay. In the end, write a conclusion of your 1000 word essay that wraps all your points.

6. Reference Your Sources

When writing 1000 word essays, it’s important to use enough sources (around 7-10). This will demonstrate that you have conducted an in-depth investigation and your writing is driven by credible resources. Don’t forget to cite them accordingly every time you quote or paraphrase someone’s ideas. Depending on the format, you should include either in-text citations or footnotes in the body. The most common paper styles are APA , MLA , Chicago and Harvard , so double check which one is required.

7. Proofread and Polish 

Once you have written your 1000 word essay, you’re not done yet. Make sure to review your piece one last time and look for any typos, grammar or punctuation mistakes. You can also ask a friend or parent to proofread it and spot the areas that need improvement. This way, you will receive some valuable feedback.

1000 Word Essay Format 

When writing a 1000 word essay, you should keep in mind that it follows the same structure as any other academic paper. All essays should include an introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion. Furthermore, depending on the format (MLA, APA, Chicago), your paper may also include a title page or reference list.

Is It Important to Stick to a 1000 Word Count? 

There may be situations when you can’t achieve the right amount of words and just leave your paper as is. However, adhering to a 1000-word count is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it demonstrates your ability to follow your instructor’s guidelines. Secondly, you will be prompted to communicate your ideas concisely, yet, efficiently. 

While small deviations of a few words are generally acceptable, make a conscious effort to stay as close to the 1000-word count as possible. Exceeding the word count may result in a lack of focus. Meanwhile, falling short may indicate incomplete analysis or insufficient supporting evidence. In either case, it reflects a failure to meet the requirements and may negatively impact your grade.

Tips for Writing a 1000 Words Essay

If you feel that creating 1000 word essays is too overwhelming, here are some tips to help you get through this task:

  • Manage your time. Consider how much time you afford to dedicate for each stage of the writing process, namely research, outlining, writing, editing, and proofreading. Dividing it into smaller chunks will make it more achievable.
  • Create a distraction-free environment. Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can concentrate on your writing without interruptions.
  • Build an outline. This will help you organize your ideas and order them logically.
  • Keep balance. Stick to your main topic and avoid going off on tangents. Make sure every paragraph remains on point.
  • Take notes. Use a dedicated notebook, digital note-taking app, or software to keep your notes in one place. Create separate sections or pages for different topics or sources to maintain organization.

Mistakes to Avoid When Writing a 1000 Word Essay

Before you begin writing a 1000-word essay, be aware of common mistakes that can hinder the quality of your work. Let’s go through the typical ones:

  • Going over the word count. Straying significantly beyond the word limit can lead to a lack of focus.
  • Insufficient proof. Making unsupported claims or assertions without providing evidence or examples weakens your arguments.
  • Writing irrelevant content. Including fluff, such as repetitive statements, excessive examples, or unrelated information is unacceptable.
  • Lack of own ideas and thoughts. An essay, independently of its type, is a place where the author should present their own opinions concerning the subject.
  • Overreliance on a single source. Relying solely on one source or perspective can result in a biased analysis. Make sure to gather information from multiple reputable sources and consider different viewpoints to present a well-rounded argument.

Bottom Line on How to Write 1000 Word Essay

FAQ About 1000 Words Essay

1. how long should a 1000 word essay be.

A 1000 word essay should be between 3-4 pages in length, depending on the font size, text spacing and format. For example, if the font size is 12 pt and the text is double-spaced, a 1000 word essay will be around 4 pages. If the font size is 10 pt with single spacing applied, it would take approximately 2-3 pages.

2. How long should it take to write a 1000 word essay?

Generally speaking, it should take around 2-3 hours to write a 1000 word essay. However, if you are dealing with an unfamiliar topic or have difficulty finding information, you will need up to 4-6 hours to complete it.

3. How should I allocate my word count in a 1000 word essay?

When writing a 1000 word essay, it is important to distribute your word count reasonably. Generally speaking, the introduction should take 10-15% of your total word count (100-150 words). The body paragraphs should make up 70 % (700 words), and the conclusion should be around 10-15% (100 - 150 words).

4. What should I do if I'm struggling to reach the 1000 word count?

If you find yourself short of words, do extra research to identify additional points or evidence to expand upon. Delve deeper into your explanations and incorporate more examples or case studies. You may also consider alternative perspectives to reach 1000 words in an essay. However, it makes sense to prioritize the quality and coherence of your essay over quantity.

5. How can I reduce my word count if my essay exceeds 1000 words?

If your essay goes over 1000 words, scan through it again and remove any redundant points or phrases. Break down long sentences into shorter ones and delete unnecessary adjectives/adverbs. Finally, use a word count tool to identify which areas of your essay are too lengthy to further enhance them.

6. How to write a 1000 word essay in one night?

Completing a 1000 word essay in one night is possible, though it may require some additional effort. Start by creating a detailed outline of your ideas to help you remain organized. Set aside an hour or two for research and aim to have the majority of your writing done in the evening. Prioritize the most important points and write about those first, then fill in the details. Don’t forget to read through and edit your essay before submission.

7. How to write 1000 words quickly?

Writing 1000 words quickly requires careful planning and preparation. Establish a timer and set separate time limits for writing, researching and editing your essay. When writing, avoid long sentences and use simple language to communicate your ideas effectively.

5-Paragraph Essay

How Many Pages Is 700 Words Essay?

how long to write 700 words essay

Advertisement

How many pages is a 700-word essay? One page single-spaced, or two pages double-spaced is the response. Two common assignments given to middle and high school students are writing essays of seven hundred words and five paragraphs. Writing a 700-word essay is difficult and demands careful planning to make your point clearly and succinctly. 

Your page count may vary slightly based on how you have set up your document, but standard margins and an Arial or Times New Roman 12-point font should yield comparable results for one page. The English curricula of middle and high schools frequently require 700-word essays, particularly for book reports and summaries of current affairs. 

The type of font used, the font size, the spacing between words, the paper’s margins, the length of the paragraphs, and other variables will all affect how many words it takes to fill a page. For instance, it will take more words to fill a page if the assignment specifies that the writing must be in a 10-point font rather than a 12-point font.

In case you require a broad guideline, an average page with 1-inch margins and a typeface of 12 points with standard spacing elements will contain roughly 700 words when written single-spaced. In assignments where double spacing is required, a page would need to contain about 500 words.

For a project that calls for one page of writing, you can estimate how many words you’ll need to write roughly 700 words for a single-spaced paper, or 500 words if the assignment calls for double spacing. Once more, the choice of font can raise or lower the word count, but for those who are just looking for a ballpark estimate, this is a useful guideline.

Most papers are no longer graded by page count because the amount of words required to fill a page can vary greatly. The best course of action when faced with a writing assignment that has a page number is to ask the person who created it for the word count.

How long should a 700-word essay take to write?

An average writer will take about 17.5 minutes to type 700 words on a keyboard and 35 minutes to write 700 words by hand. However, the length can increase to 2.3 hours if the content needs to include in-depth research, links, citations, or graphics, like for a high school essay or blog post.

How many pages is a 750-word essay?

One and a half pages

Approximately 1.5 pages single-spaced or 3 pages double-spaced make up 750 words. Naturally, the settings of your word processor, the typeface and size you’re using, and the page margins will all play a role.

Are you trying to hit a word count goal of 1,000 words and want to know how long it takes? Even though 1,000 words sounds like a lot to type out, it’s easy to finish within the day when you’re focused. There are a few factors that make your writing speed slow down, but we’ll help you find strategies to speed up the process. Keep reading so you know how long to take for your writing and how you can boost your writing pace.

Things You Should Know

  • Writing 1,000 words at an average typing speed takes about 25 minutes or less.
  • If you need to do light research for the writing topic, 1,000 words takes about 1–2 hours.
  • Give yourself 3–4 hours to write 1,000 words if you need to do heavy research, citations, or editing.

Step 1 Typing 1,000 words without research: <25 minutes

  • If you plan on handwriting 1,000 words, it may take an additional hour or so.

Step 1 Research

  • Researching is an ongoing process, so you may need to continue doing it even after you start writing. It’s tough to say how much time researching takes since it depends on how well you know the topic and how detailed of information you need.

Step 2 Editing & rewriting

  • Editing and proofreading will probably take at least 30–60 minutes, but it could take longer if you need to reword sections of your writing.

Step 3 Slow typing speed

  • Take a typing speed test to determine your average words per minute.

Step 4 Writer’s block

  • If you already have all the points you want to hit on outlined, it saves you time since it’s a lot easier to fill in the information without wondering what’s coming next.

Step 2 Set incremental writing goals.

  • Example: Make a goal to finish 250 words in 30 minutes before taking a short break.
  • Reward yourself when you reach your writing goal by taking a walk, having a small treat, or playing a video game so you stay motivated.

Step 3 Block distractions while you’re writing.

  • Step away from your writing every 30 minutes to stretch your legs, get some water, and catch up on notifications before you dive back in.

Step 4 Practice good typing posture.

  • If you’re stuck in a certain spot of your writing, jump to a different section and keep going. You’re always able to come back and fill in areas when you have a better idea of what you want to write. [14] X Research source

Expert Q&A

  • Try your best not to procrastinate when you have a deadline for your writing. Starting early gives you more time to write and edit without all the stress of an approaching due date.
