 nd purposeMagnus Linton\,&nbsp\;writer and writing coachTaking the step fr
 om the academic writing template to essayistic prose is very much a questi
 on of rethinking one’s ideas about a text´s meaning. What is discourage
 d in a peer review article may be considered stylistically appropriate&nbs
 p\;in writing aimed for wider publics. Which linguistic features typical o
 f today’s academic writing should be avoided when the aim is to communic

 \;Every text has a beginning — and if nothing happens in the first few p
 aragraphs\, all readers (except the ones paid to keep reading) will quickl
 y drift away. So how do you write an opening that carries weight\, teases 
 just enough\, and makes a promise — but not too much?With the help of ex
 amples\, we’ll explore a range of captivating and disarming ways to begi
 n a text. What should a strong introduction do to the reader? What should 
 it absolutely not do? What foundations are laid in those first few lines? 
 And how do you get started when you're staring at a blank screen\, stuck a
 nd anxious?Spots are limited so don´t hesitate too long before applying.A
