What is the main difference between argumentative and persuasive writing?

The goal of argumentative writing is to show the audience that your claim is valid, while persuasive writing aims to win the readers over by any means necessary.

The goal of persuasive writing is to manipulate the audience into agreeing with you, while argumentative writing focuses on informing the readers with objective summaries of both sides of a debate.

The topic selection is more important in persuasive writing than in argumentative writing.

Argumentative writing always includes a counterclaim, while persuasive writing does not include one.
