How do you write an academic essay?

You read widely, take copious notes, and develop a sound knowledge both of the broader field and of the debate into which your essay will intervene. You develop an outline and a plan, both to test the feasibility of your thesis and to structure your arguments optimally. You come up with an argument and structure it impeccably, with appropriate introduction, body, and conclusion. You can use all that reading you’ve done to anticipate counter-arguments to your position, and you rebut them. Use all the academic turns of phrase you’ve learned, and above all else, you answer the question!
