ahr-structure-and-exposition

separate

Use when organizing an American Historical Review (AHR) article so narrative and analysis work together within the roughly 8,000-word target (notes excluded). The AHR prizes articles that tell a story and argue a point at once. Shapes structure and flow; it does not generate the underlying argument or evidence.

When to use

• Outlining the article
• Reorganizing a draft that wanders
• Integrating narrative and argument
• Cutting content to meet word target
• Improving structural legibility
• Fixing front-loaded background

When not to use

• Generating the underlying argument
• Generating evidence
