If you're a student or volunteer you have several choices in Future Essays Concepts.
1 - You can comment and engage on essay ideas. You might have corroborating or dissenting information to add as a comment.
2 - You can pickup a concept if you want to push it forward into an essay. This is simple.
-- Drag the item up into "Essays In-Progress".
-- Leave the original messages and comments in place.
-- Add a new message indicating that you've taken on the essay.
-- Write and publish a great provocative research drive essay!
3 - You can add a concept that you think is interesting but might not be right for you, right now.. Your concept should start with clear thesis title and at least one piece of supporting / citable content.
