200 Top Narrative Essay Topics and Ideas

There are many great ideas waiting for you to pick and choose from the list below. You can find narrative essay topics and ideas that will engage your audience, encourage their participation, and allow you to develop a unique voice in your writing style.

Once you have chosen a topic that is interesting for you, please use these helpful tips. These tips will help you make an effective point in your writing without repeating yourself or sounding like everyone else who has written about this topic before.

Place yourself in the middle of the action

Use the first person ‘I’ in your narrative to create a story that directly involves you. This will help readers feel like they are part of your experience and make them care more about what you have written. The use of ‘I’ may also add a sense of humor to your writing since most people will use a self-deprecating tone to explain their own experiences as funny or embarrassing.

Give an example from your own life

The personal experience or reflection makes an essay interesting and gives it more meaning than just a general overview or point of view about the topic.
Have a personal connection to the story

People will respond more to your narrative essay if they have a personal connection with it. It may sound strange, but people become emotional about their own lives and situations. If the topic is terrible in some way, you can show an element of humor or a peculiar reaction that allows you to be shocking in your writing style.

Avoid clichés in your narrative essay

To write a compelling piece of writing, avoid writing about everything that has happened before. You are trying to get the attention of your audience by breaking the rules or making them wait for something interesting. Writing about what’s been done before gets boring for both parties and keeps people from caring about what you have to say.

Make sure you use the correct word or terms to describe your topic

Use the words that your audience will use while reading this type of essay. If you are writing about sports or a social event, say these things in writing. The correct words or terms help your audience relate to what you have written and emphasize what it means to them. If there is an error in the wording of your essay, people will not respect it and disregard it as well.

Avoid using slang in your narrative essay

Slang is a dialect that most people do not understand or feel comfortable with in their daily lives.
