National Essay Day takes place on February 28, the birthday of Michel de Montaigne, who was the author of the first-ever writings called ‘essays.’ This day encourages students to unleash their inner writers and compose essays on different topics. This lets them explore idea generation and writing freely and without stern academic guidelines and restrictions.

It aims to celebrate the joy of essay writing that is free from formal academic requirements, to draw attention to the writing challenges students face and to highlight the importance of timely writing assistance.
