Summary Templates: How To Write & Examples

Need to write a summary? Here are 3 simple steps to get started:

1. Gather the information you need to know.

Before you write anything, you need to know who or what you're writing about. The more specific you are, the more personalized you can make your content.

Here's our suggestions for writing a summary:
